6. This was Island County's (Whidbey Island, WA) largest convention turnout.

It was a major victory for Bernie! Something like 70% to 30%

When they announced Hillary's delegates first, the Hillary supporters gave out a cheer.

Then, when they announced Bernie's delegates, the Bernie supporters BLEW OFF THE ROOF!
They were so darned loud I couldn't even hear myself cheer, and I was screaming at the top of my lungs. I have never heard as a loud a cheer in my life. It truly was awe-inspiring.

7. Clark County here

5-2/3 hrs in, and we're still not ready to do any actual voting. (Was supposed to be done in 4 hrs.)

[BigBearJohn]

8. Yep. It's amazing how dragged out these things go

[artislife]

10. That is tough. We voted on everything but then we have to go back

and revote...

Lots of hangry people..no eating or drink in the gym

13. Just finished.

So over 2x the expected time. Went well though.

9. Princinct 41, the eastside

I finally had to leave at 6:50pm as I had a dog waiting for me for just under 8 hours.

We booed Patty Murray as she tried to justify her Superdelegate vote and we challenged our chair. We went over the platform line by line and then they handed out a sheet with 9 more new motions...I couldn't leave the dog for 10 hours...so I had to leave.

We had over 1000 people there.

We got some good things amended to the platform. There are candidates who say they are for the things I want...but I will have to further investigate.

I am no pushover, not anymore.

[Bernin4U]

11. Yes the candidates sure sound progressive.

Funny, that.

12. Thanks for hanging in there!

Glad the islanders came through. Thanks for being there.
