Nevada Caucus OK'd
A Las Vegas judge just ruled against a lawsuit filed by several Hillary Clinton supporters and the Nevada teachers' union to change the rules for the state's Saturday caucus. The judge upheld the state party's plan to have nine at-large caucuses in Las Vegas casinos.
This has been a strange campaign in virtually every respect: seeing backers of a major Democratic candidate sue to make it tougher for minority voters to participate is most unusual. As things developed, Clinton got the worst of both worlds: the negative publicity associated with the lawsuit; and the caucus goes ahead as scheduled.
