CNN just reported that a federal judge just issued a ruling in the case challenging the rules allowing at large caucuses in Nevada this weekend. The judge ruled that those caucuses can proceed. You can read my background post explaining this issue here.More later.From Reuters:
A federal judge on Thursday allowed Nevada's Democratic Party to conduct voting to choose a U.S. presidential nominee in casino hotels on the Las Vegas Strip, a decision likely to boost Sen. Barack Obama.Bill Clinton weighs in:
For the first time, Nevada Democrats planned to set up nine locations for Saturday's vote so casino shift workers -- who are largely represented by a union that endorsed Obama -- could express their preference for a Democratic Party candidate before the November presidential election.
A teachers' group filed a lawsuit saying the exception for the casino workers' vote was unfair, but Judge James Mahan of the U.S. District Court for Nevada disagreed and declined to issue a temporary injunction.
