According to the Las Vegas Review Journal:

“Delegates assigned during at-large precinct caucuses are based on the number of attendees while the delegates assigned at traditional caucus sites are based on the number of registered voters in that particular precinct. Opponents of the at-large caucus locations argue that the shift employees’ vote will have more weight than the average voter’s because far more workers are expected to show up at the at-large caucuses. Those precincts will generate more delegates than the other caucus sites.”

I guess that is what he means.

Thank you very much. Sure sounds pretty odd, but at least now I know what they’re talking about.

Thanks for the information, but it still leaves me confused.
If 1000 people show up to caucus at one of the at-large precincts and they award x/1000 based upon the number who showed up, then that precinct would have x delegates.

Conversely if a regular precinct of 1000 registered voters has only 100 people show up to caucus, wouldn’t they also receive x delegates because it is based upon registered voters?

As I understand it, HILLARY! has a preponderance of democrat "super-delegates." These folks get to cast a vote at convention although they have never received a single popular vote of support.

I wonder if the impeached former president intends to renounce the use of undemocratic "super-delegates" for HILLARY! at the convention.
