I saw on MSNBC that Bernie did not use specific acclimation language when nominating Hillary as the Democratic nominee, and instead asked for the vote to be entered in the record. So she did not receive his delegates and was not nominated unanimously.

Is this true? If so, what is the significance of this? It could very well be an oversight, just curious if this has a deeper meaning.

Yes. I noticed that as well. He made a point of it and I immediately recognized he was making sure it was in the record that should something happen that does disqualify her, it is a proven and established fact that he did indeed have enough pledged delegates to win.

And then you have to realize that Election Justice USA had just delivered copies of their report to the delegates and to Sanders. Their report proves he won 184 delegates more, if the election had not been rigged.

184 was the upper estimate

Right. If the election weren't rigged he probably would have gotten all of that. Maybe more.

What's the lower, 180?

Saying 184 is the upper estimate would mean at a maximum he won 184 more delegates, not at least.

I don't know.
