Somthing strage is happening! Bernie may have won Nevada after all!

It all has to do with how delegates are handled:

I'm at the nevada caucus and somehow bernie ended up with more delegates at the end of the day

Edit: I'm in Clark County don't know about the others...apparently there's a 3rd one of these which represents the state so it's not over yet!

this margin means we've won Nevada and will flip some pledged delegates if our delegates turn up at the district/state level.

I do believe that's a 10 delegate swing.

Previous: 15 Bernie, 20 Hillary.

Swing: +5 Bernie, -5 Hillary.

20 Bernie - 15 Hillary.

Bringing our deficit from -228 to -218.

Precinct caucuses elect delegates to county conventions. The national delegate counts announced after the caucuses are just projections assuming equivalent turnout at all subsequent tiers that lead to the actual selection of Nevada's national delegates at their state convention. Sanders got better turnout at the county tier than Hillary did, for the highest-population county in the state, so we win. https://www.reddit.com/r/SandersForPresident/comments/4d3w8t/bernie_wins_nevada/d1niakk

What does it mean? It could mean elected delegates have changed their minds on who to vote for

investigate what has been happening. I expect some people in Arizona might be rethinking things also.

Edit: correct spelling... Manic mood does it to me.

Maybe that's some part of what happened today anyway.

Think about it. If you've heard "Hillary has already won the nomination" as much as we've heard it over the past 2 weeks why would you bother to show up and vote for her now. If people believe that it's all over then they might have sat home today. Or might over the next few weeks. I think that's the most likely explanation myself.
