The convention continues
Apparently there is a roomful of alternates who couldn't get in, and the local party officials are trying to figure out whether or not to let them vote and, if so, how.
I heard a rumor that the registration staff lost the credentials for delegates from 200 Clark County precincts, and that problem is part of why the chair wanted to delay the voting and state delegation selection to a later date.
But while the chair claimed that they didn't expect this many people, they've known since January 19th how many county delegates there were.
My suspicion: there are more Obama supporters here than expected, and someone is worried that Hillary is going to get fewer delegates from the county than expected. (Note, however, that both the Obama and Clinton campaigns apparently agreed to the motion that failed.)

The Clinton folks must be afraid down in Clark County.
I believe the fix was in. It started on the day of the caucus and continued through the convention.
