6. Apparently one of the Sanders operatives "stole" contact data for Clinton delegates....

....and sent a number of them (all maybe?) correspondence telling them they didn't have to show up at the convention. Then when they didn't, they had a whole bunch of Sanders supporters waiting to be "alternates" for the no-shows. As a result, hundreds of votes at the convention switched from elected Clinton delegates to alternate Sanders supporters, and two delegates that had previous been Clinton delegates were defeated by the fake Sanders convention delegates.

So the ultimate Nevada delegate count changed from 20-15 to 18-17, still a win for Clinton.

These are the moral, responsible, non-oligarch people. Scummy, if you ask me.
