Nevada KNOWS the popular vote counts

This will be a short diary, but I felt it was worth more than just a comment in DHinMI's frontpage piece today.

DHinMI references the fact that some in the chattering class and in the Clinton camp are attempting to leverage a popular vote argument by discounting the states that do not compile statewide tallies of the actual vote.

But if the pundits and Clinton backers interested in keeping this race alive truly want to make their arguments based on the popular vote, perhaps they should pressure their backers in the states in question to release the tallies they do possess.

Because in at least one of those states, in Nevada they do have the tallies.  I know--I was there firsthand.

As many of you know by now, I was heading up the Obama side in one of the Nevada caucuses--one of many in which serious malfeasance took place on the part of the Clinton camp, as I reported here and elsewhere.  I had to personally sign off on the final tally sheets for the caucus count.

Guess what?  The actual vote counts were right there on the sheet, with a special box designated just for them.  The caucus chair was responsible for using the appropriate formula to transform those actual vote totals into the more relevant state delegate splits, but the actual numbers sent back in to the state written right there on the form for all to see.

Since the Clinton camp is currently attempting to use a "fair and balanced" form of the popular vote argument to sway superdelegates, and since the Clinton camp supposedly won the majority of voters in the Nevada caucuses perhaps they can persuade their friends in the Nevada state party machinery (which pulled all the strings it possibly could for the Clinton camp, which would otherwise have lost Nevada in more than just delegates) to actually count the votes they have on hand.  Presuming they still have the actual final tally sheets in hand and have not discarded them, counting those final votes couldn't take more than a day.

That way, the remaining undecided superdelegates taking the popular vote into account (for whatever reason) can make a more informed decision.

After all, if everything is on the level in Nevada, what do the Clinton camp and their allies have to lose?
