Judge Denies Lawsuit, At-Large Caucuses to go Forward Unchanged
By Joseph K. CooperJudge James C. Mahan of the United States District Court of Nevada has ruled against the Nevada State Education Association and allowed the Nevada Democratic Party to go ahead with their at-large caucus sites as planned.
"I don't see a basis for an injunction here," said Mahan. "The parties have a right to determine how they're going to apportion delegates to the party conventions."
The ruling followed an acrimonious week that has pitted, among others, the Nevada State Education Association against the Culinary Workers Union and Clark County Democratic Chairman John Hunt against the Nevada Democratic Party.

Hunt must go!
For the good of the party, John Hunt must resign or be removed. His failed and frivolous lawsuit was a transparent attempt to stop workers from voting for Obama. We must heal the wounds and move forward united. Hunt must step down.
removed from what?
