Claims enumerated in [https://plus.google.com/u/0/102282887764745350285/posts/cWwYfXQhQ3D this discussion]:

* '''M1.''' There was a change of rules which was voted on before the announced time, when the Hillary delegates were present but the Bernie delegates were not.
* '''M2.''' In the process of that rule change, Lange called for a voice vote, heard the "Yea"s, and then passed the motion without asking for "Nay"s.
* '''M3.''' the NV committee was co-chaired by Clinton and Sanders supporters
* '''M4.''' the NV convention was equally staffed by Clinton and Sanders supporters
* '''M5.''' some of the violence was incited by a member of the Sanders Campaign
* '''M6.''' Clinton had no motive for messing with the convention, since she was already winning.
* '''M7.''' Others may have had such a motive, however.
* '''M8.''' Sanders supporters were abusive towards Barbara Boxer.
* '''M9.''' The only prominent speaker, Barbara Boxer, is a Clinton proxy.
* '''M10.''' Protests from the Sanders camp were ignored/overruled.
* '''M11.''' (Vox) Nevada state officials disqualified 56 Sanders-supporting delegates who had done the paperwork wrong or hadn't registered as Democrats in time.
* '''M12.''' (from memory of other sources) Some of those delegates had proof that they were in fact qualified, but they were not allowed the opportunity to present that proof.
* '''M13.''' (Vox) There is no way these events could have affected the outcome of the main Democratic primary.
* '''M14.''' (Vox) M13 is indisputable even by Bernie's supporters. ("Not even Sanders's most hardcore loyalists would claim that what happened on Saturday will sway the outcome of the Democratic primary.")
* '''M15.''' There was violence at the convention.
* '''M16.''' No credible reports of violence at the convention have yet been identified.
