Final county results from NV. Going into the State convention, Hillary is ahead 18-17

A change of 2 delegates from the original 20-15 result.

-----

Despite losing the state on Feb. 20 in the caucus, Bernie Sanders' campaign swarmed the Clark County caucus and probably flipped two delegates from Hillary Clinton's camp.

Clinton was presumed to have a 20-15 delegate edge after the caucus based on her 5 percentage point win in the caucuses. But because the caucus process allows some delegates to be unbound, 12 of those were up for grabs at the 17 county conventions Saturday. Sanders had 600 more delegates in Clark on Saturday despite losing the state's most populous county by nearly 10 percentage points.

That is expected to switch two delegates to Sanders, giving Clinton an 18-17 lead in Nevada, but that is still pending the results of the state convention next month when those 12 slots could again change. (Sanders also dominated in Washoe and did well elsewhere.) Ah, the caucus process.

1. He's getting it partly right now. Delegates from some of the CDs will also shift as well.

This will result in a 19-16 elected delegate total for Bernie. But Hillary fans need not despair - the current unelected superdelegates from Nevada may tip the total in her favor after all.

Total is 2 flips. Admittedly that can change again by who shows up at state, but right now it is just 2.

supporters have been elected as Bernie delegates. Does that sound believable based on the Clintons track record? Yes.

5. "Sanders' campaign swarmed the Clark County caucus" the truth is the Sanders delegates showed up

Hillary's delegates didn't bother to show up.

Hate to tell you this but Hillary has a problem.

That didn't happen yesterday so many of her delegates just didn't show up. That says a lot about how deep her support is.
