Democratic Bayou/Cauci Saturday election results thread (first results @4pm ET?)

[The Other Castro]

Six new precincts came in from Lancaster but the vote barely changed.

It looks the margin narrowed, so the results probably will only get a little bit better for Sanders when this is over.

[IceSpear]

It says Lancaster, Nebraska is only 24% in with Sanders leading 68-32. If that margin holds, the final statewide result should look something like Sanders wins 59.6%-40.4%.

I not sure, I am probably wrong, but why does Lancaster have 30 caucus sites, twice as many as Douglas, when Douglas has like twice the population.  I think that all of Nebraska is in, but an error happened showing that Lancaster had 30 precincts instead of just 8.

Nice try, just updated to 10/33 reporting.

Still doesn't answer the question, why the hell does a county half the size of the largest get twice as many caucus sites?

This is a great question actually. The county isn't even particularly large.

Did Kansas allow absentee ballots? Or was that only Nebraska?

Well I guess that explains the huge difference in Clinton's performance between the two.

Obviously Kansas was better for Bernie than Nebraska, but we're still waiting on Lancester county to find out the margin in Nebraska.

So far in Lancaster, each new caucus site that comes in cuts Sanders margin.  So it could go from 55-45 to 58-42 right now.

Honestly, I don't get why absentee ballots should be in caucus states. Isn't the whole point of a caucus to be able to hear each side's opinions and viewpoints before you cast a vote? Then again, caucuses (cauci?) shouldn't exist in the first place.

Agreed, IMO Caucus should not be there but if it is the purpose is being defeated in Absentee Ballot!

Okay, Lincoln, get on with it! NOW!

Even if it ends 58-42 for Sanders it's a YUUUUGE improvement for Clinton compared to her 68-32 drubbing eight years ago. Both Nate Cohn and Harry Enten said it was a bad night for Sanders because he needed much bigger margins in two such friendly states and that he has fallen further behind when it comes to delegate math.

Let's just hope that when Clinton becomes head of the party she pushes for the abolishment of caucuses. Today was just another example of how ridiculous and undemocratic this system is.

I agree that Sanders is almost certainly going to lose the nomination, but Sanders is not Obama. Obama is not Sanders. They appeal to very different sections of the electorate, with some overlap.

I actually like the Nebraska form of the caucus.  It retains the positive part of caucusing (community, discussion) while providing a means for those who couldn't attend (or for personal reasons don't want to be part of the caucus process) an opportunity to vote via absentee.

[IceSpear]

Bernie wins NE 57-43, and Hillary nets 9 delegates overall. ME will likely make it a wash.

This is like the perfect demonstration of why Sanders can't win.  He can win by 20 points in all of these caucus states if he wants, but its not going to net him the delegates he needs.
