Interesting, wonder what happened.

Edit: Looking around, seems like 800 Bernie people were denied entry today, after the walk out and such.

Edit 2: Hard to tell what exactly happened in numbers because I can't find a definitive source, some people lost credentials, Nina Turner for sure.

Edit 3: https://twitter.com/BenJealous - says this is false!
