Updated: Federal Court just ruled the caucuses will go on as planned. The Clinton supported injunction to stop the casino sites was denied.
When Bill Clinton got "riled up" with a reporter over the Nevada caucus issue, the main point he seemed to be making was that some voters would have their vote counted to a power of five. But is that really true?
Clinton: ''What happened is nobody understood what happened..they uncovered it. And now everybody's saying, ''Oh, they don't want us to vote...what they really tried to do was to set up a deal where their votes counted five times, maybe even more, as much.''
Here are the rules for the caucuses. Extra bonus: this all comes from what's labeled an Affirmative Action program. If you check delegate apportionment for the regular caucuses on page 50 - and the special sites on page 54, the formula being used doesn't appear to differ based upon the number of attendees.
Before the Culinary Union endorsed Obama, the Clintons were for Affirmative Action and empowering as many people to vote as possible. She worked hard for the endorsement she didn't get. Now the Clintons are anti-Affirmative Action and pushing angles that might not exist to dis-enfranchise certain voters, required to verify their inability to caucus elsewhere due to work? Who would have guessed the Clintons were rethuglicans at heart? heh!
