Democratic MI/MS election results thread (first results @8pm ET)

[Dr. Arch]

Many people called this kind of result a game-changing upset. Yes, Clinton is currently ahead in pledged delegates, but if Ohio, IL, and the likes follow up on this kind of shift, he has a real chance to surge and cinch the nomination.

Remember Hillary is ahead only by single digits nation-wide, and most of that is heavily concentrated in the South, which already voted. It might very well be the reverse effect now in the North.

It looks like Bernie might actually pull a big surprise victory in Michigan tonight, which will be big for his campaign. Probably still has no pathway to win, but it's definitely a morale boost.

There is most certainly a path if this kind of thing happens in Illinois and Ohio.

Sanders is increasing his lead in Genesee county LOL

[Xing]

In other news, looks like Sanders will clear 15% in MS, meaning he'll get a couple of delegates! FEEL THE BERN!

[Asian Nazi]

PredictIt has been a hilarious roller coaster.

Also, please say someone did actually bet violent socialist 1 week

No, but I'm probably going to take a day off if Sanders wins anyway lol

[henster]

There does seem to be a North-South divide, we have only seen the margins from the black vote out of the South so far.

[The Other Castro]

I expect Sanders to win by around 1% at this point.

[Matty]

there are still areas on the far edges of the state reporting

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

25k vote lead now for Sanders

[izixs]

Clinton would need to win around 53% of the remaining vote I estimate to get a win. Yes driving up numbers in Wayne could help that, but I'm doubtful that will be enough to offset Sanders doing generally well in the rest of the state consistently.

[Gass3268]

I wonder why the networks are like 10% ahead of the NYT/AP reporting?

[ProgressiveCanadian]

And Sanders gave a speech earlier cause he didn't expect a win....

[The Other Castro]

Clinton lead in Wayne down to 58%

[Pyro]

Clinton and Sanders are LITERALLY arm wrestling in Macomb County.

Heard that too. CNN is quite entertaining.

[RightBehind]

What a pleasant surprise this has been.

[IceSpear]

I think Bernie takes this, even if the margin narrows.

Congrats to him and his supporters. One of the biggest upsets in political history. Pure craziness. He still has an extremely large uphill climb (even now, he's going to fall even further behind in delegates), but he won a state he needed to win and lives to fight another day.

I'm off to go take a drink.

Sanders ahead in Clinton County.

[Senate Minority Leader Lord Voldemort]

Thank God Florida is a closed primary.

[indysaff]

That debate helped, he should be angry more often now.

This might help his momentum.

[Joe Biden is your president. Deal with it.]

Clinton and Sanders are LITERALLY arm wrestling in Macomb County.

I would pay to see that lol

[The Other Castro]

I have no doubt that this race is going to California now.

[This account no longer in use.]

Might help earn the votes of the critical Angry NH Women demographic.

Sanders ahead in Clinton County.

Ohhh, the irony!!!

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Unfortunately... I think you're more likely to be correct than not.
