Virgin Islands Democratic Caucuses results thread (10am - 6pm ET)

[sportydude]

Despite being a tiny contest on a tiny island group, that caucus will be the most interesting to watch in my assessment, because it's exciting to see how a group of almost exclusively black voters vote in a closed Bernie vs. Hillary caucus. It's not secret, of course, that Hillary will be the winner - but by how much?

[sportydude]

Does a candidate need 15% territory-wide, or does the threshold apply to each of the islands?

[sportydude]

Let's get a nice landslide here and ease into Tuesday.

You forgot tomorrow!

Early, very rough report from one of the three sites.

That tweet was from 8 hours ago though so take it with a grain of salt.

Here's a ballot box with solely blue ballots:



But since this photo has been uploaded by a Bernie Bro called "EnergizerBernie", you'll never know how many dozens of green ballots are lying underneath the contaminated ones.

Thats a stock photo from a serbian election...

ABC News: Hillary Clinton Wins Virgin Islands Democratic Caucuses

Unconfirmed early STX(I assume they mean Saint Croix) total (from the official facebook page)

That would be more than 92% for Clinton. LOL

Bernie fails to meet 15% threshold. Hillary wins all 3 St Croix Delegates.

Some poster said the threshold applied to the territory-wide vote.
So there's still some hope for the Bernie Bros.

So, the threshold applies to the two districts?

That reminds me so of the NYGOP primary. Just abolish district-wide allocations, and we will be spared from this mess. Unfortunately, those inconsistencies will foreshadow the predictable behavior of the Bernie Bros...

Benchmark Politics just revised the former statement:

CNN also has all 7 delegates going to Hillary:

I think it's going to get meeeeessssy. Them Bernie Bros. will start WWIII over that one delegate.

[sportydude]

according to AP Clinton wins all 7. Not sure if they are right and Green is wrong, but the media tend to pay attention to AP. They also say she needs 60 to clinch with supers.

Okay, I hope we can all agree on the fact that a party chairman's words are more credible than the Green Papers...

Did Hillary win St. John in 2008?

This is the best I could find. It looks like St. Thomas and St. John are not separated here:

Those numbers don't make any sense.

Plus look at the different numbers on the Green Pages and on CNN:

Green Papers:

Hillary:       1,308  86.51%
Bernie:         186  12.30%
Uncommitted: 18   1.19%

Total:         1,512 100.00%   

CNN:

Hillary: 1,308  84.2%
Bernie: 190    12.2%
(other/uncommitted: 56  3.6%)

(total: 1554    100%)

It's too confusing for me.

Maybe the GP forgot to count Rocky's votes.

Blame the St. Croix Source circa 2008.

I never intended to blame you.

Any new official information about the 7th delegate?
