"Over the weekend, thousands endured a bout of unfriendly weather to
vote in their state's Assembly District Election Meetings, oft-neglected
elections that determine who will serve as delegates to the party's
yearly state convention, elect party officers, and represent their
communities in the process of shaping the party's platform."

...

""Quite simply, the old guard didn't expect to be so thoroughly
out-organized, and it cost them big time," notes Ryan Skolnick, who was
elected as a delegate over the weekend. "There were around 1100 or so
delegate spots...over 600 of them were taken by Bernie Sanders
supporters and progressive activists.""
