2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I just read why 64 Bernie NV delegates had their credentials stripped--and I shed a tear or two [View all]LiberalFighter
(53,544 posts)You don't know where those delegates live throughout the state. Those 64 delegates are a very small percentage of the total delegates. AND there are only 12 months in a year. Add to that it is not restricted to people born in a specific year. They could be born in any year from about 1930 to 1998. That is a nearly 70 year range. 60 if you want to be conservative about the range.
Based on the Sanders delegates of 1,662 if there was an even distribution of delegates by months it would be 138 for each month. Since the time frame covers two different months it puts it at 176 delegates. Not all of them would be renewing. Then there are some that would be updating their address as required.
What is questionable are the circumstances regarding this issue. So far we don't know actual details. We just have a report that delegates weren't seated because they weren't registered. There are people supporting Sanders that are blaming Clinton without any evidence. They want to blame Clinton for everything that happens to them.
It does need to be investigated and published.
If this was something nefarious it should be happening in more than just a few states as claimed.
