Bernie delegates are getting arrested in Nevada

The Clark County Dem party told them they had to change their vote to Clinton if they wanted to go to the convention. They were told if they're unwilling to change their vote they can just go home. Sanders campaign attorneys showed up as the Bernie delegates refused to leave. The Clark County Dem party called the police an are trying to get the Bernie delegates arrested. A friend of mine works on Bernie's social media team and was sharing posts on Facebook from the chair of the credentials committee , who is a Bernie supporter. The Clark County Dem party is trying to bypass the chair. If I find out anything else , I'll update. They haven't been arrested yet but said Las Vegas Metro was called and charges were being pressed. What charges I don't know.

Oh wait, they couldn't be bothered to show up. You can't force someone to vote against their candidate. If they wanted delegates to vote for Hillary, those selected delegates should have been there.
