1. The Seattle Times’ Jim Brunner has the news that Bernie Sanders supporters plan to use their dominant numbers to take over next weekend’s Washington State Democratic Convention, installing Sanders’ delegate, state representative Noel Frame (D-36, Ballard), as the chair.

Sanders won Washington state’s March 26 caucus by more than 70 percent—and so he has a 74-27 pledged delegate advantage over Hillary Clinton.

On the agenda for the Sanders majority: passing a resolution to make the 17 super delegates such as US senator Patty Murray and governor Jay Inslee (who are voting for Clinton), switch their votes.

The Clinton delegates have said they won’t change their votes.

And the Sanders argument has certainly lost some steam. While Sanders did win the caucus, he actually lost the May 24^th primary to Clinton, 52.3-47.6. What’s more, Clinton supporters can play the popular vote card: 790,000 Democrats voted in the primary while only 230,000 Democrats caucused.

And a note to Frame. Her Ballard district, Legislative District 36, went for Clinton 58 percent, six points higher than Clinton’s statewide number.

2. Footnote on the June 17 weekend convention: 34 of the 101 delegates have yet to be chosen (25 Sanders delegates and nine Clinton delegates). These delegates will be picked at the state convention. These are known as “at-large” delegates.

Any one can run, but the edge goes to those who ran during the precinct, Legislative District, and Congressional District process, but ultimately didn’t make it. In among the hopefuls, a trans woman and Sanders delegate from Kirkland who made it all the way to Congressional District level last month. Her name is Breanna Anderson, and she tells me that given how trans people have become the latest “bogeyman” in the GOP’s culture war “scapegoat” agenda, it’s important that the Democratic Party send trans people to Philadelphia. She reports that the chair of 1st LD, Dan Wilner, has recommended her to the state convention.    

3. In an email to state legislators yesterday, the Washington State Ferry system announced there would be no more wifi on ferries.

Last year, as its contract was coming to an end, the provider, Boingo, which has been hosting the service since 2008, said it wasn’t financially feasible for them anymore. WSF did a call for new contractors last June (Boingo didn’t go for it) and “no other viable proposals” came in.

Service will end on June 30, but it doesn’t seem like a big deal: 98 percent of ferry passengers weren’t using the service anyway.
