Here are the top two threads in GD:P

New estimates for Nevada delegates to national: 19-16 Bernie, plus 8 more 'super delegates'.

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

Can I surmise that nobody actually has a clue as to what the delegate count is...especially since there's still a State Convention to get through?

be official until after the state convention. I suspect that many who are making such declarations are not Nevadans or do not understand the details of the process.

After each state's conventions, we finally will have an accurate count. At this point, they are all just educated estimates. There may be small shifts as conventions are held. Each state does it slightly differently.

The very best resource for each state's methods can be found at this link by clicking on a state's abbreviation link:

Here's the link to the Nevada page:

http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P16/NV-D

As stated clearly on that page:

These County Conventions choose the county's delegates to the Nevada State Democratic Convention. While a non-binding Presidential Preference Poll is conducted during the Conventions, delegates at the County level are not bound to their declared Presidential preference. The number of national convention can be estimated base on voting in today's convention. No national convention delegates are selected until the state Convention on 14 May.
