Full video of the Precinct 11 caucus at Pinon Hills Elementary School. Before I started recording, I was informed by the site chair that recording equipment was not allowed unless I had press clearance. I knew this was completely false as this is a public democratic event and I got the OK from our campaign coordinators. I had to call the Bernie 2016 lawyers to get their input, and thankfully after that step the Site Chair backed down and let me record. If it looks a bit chaotic, that's because it was. There are FOUR precincts in this room all holding their caucus at the same time. We were promised separate rooms by the NDP, but it didn't happen. However, even though the outcome of our caucus was not favorable to Bernie, I still feel that it was run fairly. Other the incident with the camera, the Site Chair, Precinct Chairs, and Clinton precinct captains were cooperative and transparent with their decision making. It was a unique experience and I learned a lot about the political process.
