Caucus Results Flip and so do some others

There has been some movement as Caucus states like NV or others states having their respective county level meetings that some results have shifted a little in Sanders favor and there has been a lot of egregious accusations and crying foul over it.

I find this phenomenon in caucus states amusing, that HRC delegates are not showing up for conventions and county results are changing slightly so that more Sanders delegates are moving on to the next caucus convention level.

When this is talked about, you hear "overthrowing the 'will' of the people" crying when that is simply not true.

It is actually a true insight into the will of the voters as a real-life example of the commitment to their candidate. It is the obligation and responsibility of a delegate and their candidate's state campaign staff to ensure their delegates attend their respective conventions. If they do not and the other candidate benefits, based on the rules of their respective state Party, that is not "thwarting the will of the people" it is because of it.
