Bernie really has won Nevada, based on this excerpt from the GreenPapers.com

Ultimately, it's not the non-binding Feb. 20 caucus that matters, it's how many delegates make it to the State Convention to make a FINAL and BINDING presidential preference vote on May 14.

Unless Hillary's campaign kidnaps Bernie's delegates, it's over. Her delegates just grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory.

==========================


Saturday 14 May - Sunday 15 May 2016: The Nevada State Democratic Convention convenes to choose 35 of Nevada's 43 delegates to the Democratic National Convention. A binding Presidential Preference vote will occur by 10AM PDT on 14 May. A mandatory 15 percent threshold is required in order for a presidential contender to be allocated National Convention delegates at either the congressional district or statewide level. Presidential candidates have the right to approve their pledged delegates.

•23 district delegates are to be allocated proportionally to presidential contenders based on the support among the delegates to the State Convention from the State's congressional districts.

•In addition, 12 delegates are to be allocated to presidential contenders based on the support among the delegates to the State Convention as a whole.
•7 at-large National Convention delegates
•5 Pledged PLEOs
