Bernie's last stand?

Apparently youth turnout is pretty high.

That's not good for Sanders at all, considering Lake County should be one of Clinton's largest victories within the state.

I'm thinking Bernie can pull out in Allen County, though. Lots of universities there (IPFW, Ivy Tech, St. Francis, Indiana Tech).

True, but look at the rest of the Chicagoland counties.

Cook, IL: Clinton 8%
Lake, IL: Clinton 6.5%
DuPage, IL: Sanders 5%
Will, IL: Sanders 5.5%
Kane County, IL: Sanders 13%
Kenosha County, WI: Sanders 14.5%
Kendall, IL: Sanders 16.5%
Grundy, IL: Sanders 20%
McHenry, IL: Sanders 22%
DeKalb, IL: Sanders 33.5%

Am I saying that Sanders will win Lake County, IL? No, however I think it will be closer than many people are projecting. The Chicagoland area has been one of the better spots for Sanders.

Lake County's demographics match up a lot more with Cook County's demographics than some of those other counties (heavy black, latino pop.), so high turnout doesn't bode well in those areas.

However, I do think the turnout reports out now elsewhere definitely benefit Sanders.

OOF, sorry Bernie.

[Chief Justice Keef]

Doesn't mean people won't vote for him. Plenty of Bernie supporters are fine with the idea of a female president. Sorry to shock you.

I guess there's a connotation to the phrase "we're READY for a female president" that paints it hugely in favor of Clinton. But idk.

What counties' polls close at 7PM ET?

[Chief Justice Keef]

it should be noted that these exit polls don't include early voting, which could shake things up.

[Chief Justice Keef]

I have no idea, but no one else that I can see is going with these numbers.  You can't tell me with a straight face these don't look highly questionable to you.

I guess it won't really matter anyways since the real numbers are going to start trickling in in 2 minutes.

[Chief Justice Keef]

Only a few of these counties have 15-20% of the vote in, so let's not assume this is gonna be a Clinton victory just yet.

[Chief Justice Keef]

I'm not ready to call the Dem race yet (and it's not like this primary mattered as much on the Dem side anyways), but I think it's time for Cruz and Kasich to drop out.

[Chief Justice Keef]

Biden would've gotten demolished, just like he did in 1988 and 2008.

Biden would've crushed Hillary, since most people actually like him.

[Chief Justice Keef]

Well, Sanders did well, not that it changes anything. The primary map is now hideous. I am really interested to see a 2008-2016 trend map of Indiana, though.
