Sanders Delegates Walk Off DNC Convention Floor in Protest
----------------------------------------------------------

Back in Philadelphia, Bernie Sanders delegates protested both on and off
the convention floor Thursday. Scores of Sanders delegates wore
fluorescent green shirts reading "Enough is Enough," which appeared to
glow in the dark whenever the arena lights dimmed in between speakers.
Many of these delegates also held signs reading "No More Wars," "Ban
Fracking Now," "#DNC Email Leaks" and "Jill Stein." Toward the end of
Thursday night, about a half-dozen young black activists marched out of
the convention arena chanting "Black Lives Matter." Other groups of
Colorado and California delegates also walked off the floor, the
Californians saying their votes hadn't been counted. It took California
a full month to count the votes following the June 7 primary.
