Democratic Freak States Holy Saturday results thread (1st caucuses begin @1pmET)

[Fusionmunster]

Well, I just got to my precinct location, and it's already quite crowded. Lots of Sanders people, but Clinton has a presence here too.

Thanks for keeping us updated, its always awesome when someone is willing to give us an insider perspective on what's going on.

Anyone know why Sanders' odds on Betfair for winning Alaska have crashed? Are there results somewhere or what?

https://www.betfairpredicts.com/

The odds are 100-0 Clinton wins.

[Mehmentum]

That HAS to be a glitch.

[The Other Castro]

That HAS to be a glitch.

Probably, seeing as PredictIt still has Sanders as a 94% favorite to win.

Sure, no problem. I probably won't be able to update folks again for a little while, since the caucus is going to start soon. The room is now packed, and it looks like turnout in my neck of the woods is close to, if not even higher than it was in 2008. We'll get an initial count at 10 PT, but based on what I can see, it looks like my precinct will be about 2-to-1 for Bernie.

My sister and brother-in-law both voted Bernie by absentee.

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

I have no clue, but my predictions are ...

WA: 62% Sanders, 37% Clinton
AK: 54% Sanders, 45% Clinton
HI: 53% Sanders, 46% Clinton

Low population northern states seem to hate Hillary, can't imagine her getting anyway near 45% in AK.

[Xing]

On a side note, some people are wearing both Hillary and Bernie stickers, probably to promote party unity.

I'm at the North Seattle caucus location and the line is seven blocks, well over 1000 people surely.

I heard there's very heavy Bernie presence at city hall

That's great. We need more people like that.

[Flake]

I'm thinking:

WA: 65% Bernie, 35% Hillary
AK: 76% Bernie, 24% Hillary
HI: 60% Bernie, 40% Hillary

You can still join the Bernie crowd! They don't bite!

I was hoping for 3-1. With the Absentee ballot thing, Sanders will probably fall below 200!

Okay this is 1 hilarious comment from a Bernie fan in reddit, thought of sharing -

My grandma is a die hard Bernie Gal and she hired a friggen BUS to take her and a bunch of other people from her retirement home to the caucuses. She said a few Hillary supporters made it onto her bus, which she was not happy about, but I told her to try her best to convince them on the way and once inside. She knows its all in the spirit of democracy so she begrudgingly let them on the bus

What does everyone think will be the final delegate total for the day by itself?  Don't think of all the prior contests or super delegates, but just today.

[Xing]

The start might be delayed, due to the size the crowd here.

I will trust my Google Trends prediction and say Bernie 99, Hillary 43.

That's quite the big day for Bernie.  I assume that's predicting a Sanders sweep?

Just scrolling through #WAcaucus on Twitter. Everything I see points towards large turnout.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I just hope the WA Caucuses don't have the problems that Utah, Arizona, and Idaho did on Tuesday.

Some people have been asked to go after filling some preference form & then it is said their votes won't be counted. Weird - Caucuses are honestly an issue!

[Shadows]

Clinton is doing well in many precincts in Seattle, running close. That coupled with the absentee & strong Clinton performances in major cities.

Who knows maybe Sanders would be in the 50's!
