Alameda county final results.

Clinton 54% - 2,625,017
Sanders 45.1% - 2,196,528

Honestly, I think that if CA had same-day registration and the media had decided to actually be neutral like they're supposed to and not call the race based on coercing supers (and shame on the supers who endorsed June 6 too), Bernie would have won CA by 1-3 points.

And if my dick had a nail it would be a finger.

Even if Bernie did better among Anglos than Latinos in the state as a whole, he definitely didn't in the Bay Area and Southern California.

Any clue as to how Asians voted?

The countdown to Bernie performing better than Obama '08 is on (in terms of the margin - he already has more votes than him).

Of course the difference is that Obama barely campaigned in California in 2008 while Sanders became almost a permanent resident for a month.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. Plus, the '08 race was in the heat of that primary while this one happened after the race was basically over with.

Where is the exaggeration? Obama held 2 events in California in 2008 while Sanders literally didn't set foot out of the state the month before the primary. I remember Ed Kilgore jokingly saying that a casual observer might have thought he was running for governor.

As for the primary being over, go tell that to the rabid Sanders supporters or the media who turned the contest into Hillary's Alamo breathlessly reporting all those polls that showed a 2 point race.

Sanders' last non-California event was at New Mexico, May 20. So yeah, it wasn't a month, it was 18 days.

I have note that the usually decent SUSA bombed out pretty badly here, they had the race at Clinton +18 in their final poll.

Their last poll was 3 weeks before the election, just as Sanders was starting to focus on the state.
So it's rather difficult to tell if they were accurate or not.

Also, I think there was a glitch or something in Tulare County. Around 10k Hillary votes suddenly vanished, with all the other totals remaining unchanged. Maybe Reddit hacked the system.

I saw that too. The county went from a double digit Clinton lead to a 40+ Sanders lead.

[Landslide Lyndon]

OK, Tulare is back to normal (Clinton won it 54/44).
