What an interesting twist. The Nevada state teachers union filed a lawsuit late yesterday in federal court trying to have 9 at-large caucus sites on the Las Vegas strip shut down. The locations were agreed upon months ago as a measure to allow shift workers of the Culinary Union (maids, cooks, etc) who work on the Vegas strip the opportunity to caucus.

But now Lynne Warne, the president of the Nevada State Education Association, and five others listed as plantiffs on the lawsuit, are calling such caucus locations unfair:

But Lynn Warne, president of the Nevada State Education Association, noted that janitors who have to open schools in which caucus meetings take place will be unable to participate if that is not their polling place.

"Why are extraordinary accommodations being made for people on Strip but not the other workers?" she said.

She acknowledged that she did not approach the state party about the problem.

"We're approaching them now," she said.

The Nevada teachers union has not endorsed any candidate, but the the New York Times reports some of its top officials have endorsed Hillary Clinton and the Washington Post reports the suit was filed by a law firm with "at least one prominent lawyer who backs Clinton." Clinton also has the backing of American Teacher's Federation.

Culinary fired back, demanding all Nevada Democratic party officials and Presidential candidates denounce the lawsuit. The Obama campaign, which received the endorsment of the 60,000 member Culinary Union late last week, responded quickly.

But Hillary Clinton and her campaign's state chairman Rory Reid, son of Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid, refused to condemn the suit. "Not for us to decide," said Rory Reid, Clinton's state chairman, in an e-mail to the Sun. "We just want the process to be fair."

At a stop in Reno Anjeanette Damon of the Gazette Journal got a chance to question Clinton about the lawsuit. She responded:

"I know about the lawsuit. I hope it can be resolved by the courts and by the state party. Obviously, we want as many people as possible to participate."

In a later interview, I asked Clinton again about the lawsuit. She repeated her criticism of the caucus process, that it leaves too many people out and said she wants as many people as possible to participate. Does she support the lawsuit?

"I have no opinion on the lawsuit."

Does she have an opinion on the at-large precincts as a way to make the process more fair?

"I don't. I just don't know."

Stay tuned, this one is far from over.
