Johnathan,

Just because John Hunt and Bill Stanley worked "unbelievable hours" doesn't mean they're competent. If you can't get the simplest of decisions correct, i.e. venue size, how can you expect anything else to be done properly?

I was completely taken aback when I saw that the method of voting was to put our 1st alignment voting slips into an undetermined number of cardboard boxes circulating around the room. These boxes were floating in and out of the convention hall and who knows where else and were simply taped shut with packing tape. How can you possibly feel secure that no voter fraud was happening? Knowing how hotly debated this contest is, knowing how close the caucuses were, knowing the chaos and impropriety that surrounded the Jan. 19th caucus, why wasn't security and legitimacy of utmost concern? There should be a single ballot box under guard at all times in view of representatives from both candidates.

Over 1000 delegates did not receive their voting slips. Instead, they were given alternate cards and consequently not allowed into the convention hall after the fire marshal locked the doors. You want to defend John Hunt and Bill Stanley for that?

The frustration of Bill Stanley was evident when the fire marshal locked the doors. He was trying to push his way into the convention hall and I witnessed him violently pushing a black man and an elderly woman to the ground. Bill was accosted by a second woman for assaulting these people and he yelled at her, "I am in charge of this convention and I will have you removed!" At the very least, he should have apologized to the people he accosted. What I witnessed almost called for an assault charge. I found out what kind of person Bill Stanley is yesterday. I have no sympathy for a person like that.

The whole thing was a giant show of ineptitude. I am completely embarrassed for the Clark County Democratic Party. Attempting to place the blame on the previous Chair is absurd. Basic common sense decisions that should have been made were not. John Hunt and Bill Stanley have proven themselves utter buffoons.
