In case you're wondering about those 64 delegates who didn't get seated.

1. Ok, I guess that explains 1 person. Let's hear from ALL of them. nt

3. Executive Board of the Nevada State Democratic Party rules

c. Once approved by the Executive Board of the Nevada State Democratic Party prior to the convention, these rules shall serve as the temporary rules of the convention until convention rules are permanently adopted by a majority vote.

d. Any motion to amend the Convention Agenda, the Temporary Convention Rules, or the Convention Rules shall require either a privileged resolution from the Rules and Bylaws Committee of the Nevada State Democratic Party or a petition signed by twenty percent (20%) of all convention delegates.

e. Motions to amend the Convention Agenda, the Temporary Convention Rules, or the Convention Rules shall only be adopted upon a two­‐thirds (2/3) vote of all delegates.

It seems like a huge misunderstanding on their part. To adopt the temporary rules there just needed to be a simple majority, but to adopt any changes to said rules there needed to be a 2/3 majority. Sanders supporters, not having anywhere near 2/3 of the delegates, were unable to force through any rules changes and, having less than 50 percent of the delegates there, also failed to prevent the adoption of the temporary rules. The process here actually worked as intended.

5. Some people got the majority and 2/3 requirements mixed up

there were no changes in the end to the rules. The Temporary Rules needed to be formally adopted by majority vote. Some Sanders supporters wanted to make changes to the rules before they were adopted, but couldn't muster 2/3 (or close enough to actually get a vote on it). Since there were more Clinton supporters, the ayes were assumed to carry and the Temporary Rules were enacted formally for the convention.

Some people got the majority and 2/3 requirements mixed up, and who wanted to make changes and why. Inject suspicion and assumptions and you get a lot of enraged Sanders supporters convinced they're getting robbed when all thats happening is enacting some formal rules of order. The banality of the truth is what gets me.

9. This sounds like someone was disgusted with the party and changed their affiliation,

then had second thoughts and changed back. At that point the Democratic Party apparently told them to go fuck themselves. Great way to rustle up votes for November.

10. So, apparently you have to be a Democrat, to be a Democratic Delegate to the

Democratic Convention where the Democratic Party Nominee for President will be chosen?

Who knew?

12. I know, the nerve!

Oh my, these people are something else. This calls for the "Picard Double"...
