Very interesting read about the NV delegate selection process that occurred.

Well, what didn’t happen:

There was no data breach
There was no disenfranchisement nor any accusation that the Clinton campaign was unable to properly seat any of its delegates due to malfeasance. They just didn’t show up.
There were accusations of cheating — against the Clinton campaign
There were accusations of improper info sharing (apparently the delegate list?) — against the credential committee chair, a Sanders voter, and she was removed at the request of Clinton attorney Mark Elias. She claims the Party and Clinton campaign were corresponding without including Sanders’ campaign, which violates policy.
There was no attempt to pack the caucus, but rather to ensure Sanders didn’t lose any delegates, but many Clinton delegates failed to show up (allowing Sanders unelected delegates to take their spots) and/or changed their vote. Clark County was a huge cluster, but there is no evidence that elected delegates and alternates who showed up were not seated.

On Friday night, accusations of cheating came from both sides, which resulted in the attempted removal of credential committee chair Christine Kramar.

“We caught the Hillary campaign cheating, we caught the Nevada Democratic Party secretary cheating,” said Angie Sullivan, another member of the credentials committee for the Clark County Democratic Convention.

Sullivan alleges that the Clark County Democratic Party (CCDP) was sharing information with the Hillary Clinton campaign that was not being shared with the Bernie Sanders campaign, and this is why Kramer copied a Sanders campaign contact on an email correspondence with CCDP officials and Clinton campaign officials.

However, Clinton campaign attorney Marc E. Elias told a different story in a threatening email sent to CCDP Chair Chris Miller. Elias ordered Miller to remove Kramar from the credentials committee due to her sharing allegedly proprietary information belonging to the Clinton campaign with the Sanders campaign.

Kristal Glass, a Sanders delegate who was also a member of the credentials committee, [said]

“It was [Kramar’s] job to make sure everything was fair leading up to the Friday night early registration,” Glass said. “She CC’d the Sanders campaign about a conversation happening that they weren’t included in, which was against the convention process.”

Glass alleged that Michelle White, political director for Hillary Clinton’s Nevada campaign, was pressuring volunteers at the registration site to register alternates as delegates.

“We had a member of a campaign walking around with a computer showing volunteers, saying, ‘They’re approved, so go ahead and add them. “It has to be brought to the credentials committee to vet the entire thing, that’s what our responsibility is.”

After Kramar reminded the Clinton campaign and CCDP officials of the party bylaws, all hell broke loose when CCDP officials attempted to act on the orders received from Marc Elias to remove Kramar as chair by calling an executive session:
