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

[Xing]

Well, we've split into smaller caucuses. Looks like we'll get started after 10:30 PT.

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!

Where are you seeing this? Not saying you're wrong, but I'm curious what your source is.

[The Other Castro]

Based on this Guardian page, results might be coming in later than expected.

Alaska: Results expected after 4PM EST
Washington: Results expected after 5PM EST
Hawaii: Results expected after Midnight EST

[LLR]

I'll chip in my predictions:

Washington: Bernie 63, Hillary 34
Alaska: Bernie 68, Hillary 29, Rocky de la Fuente 1, O'Malley 0
Hawaii: Bernie 59, Hillary 36, Rocky de la Fuente 2

A couple of random people saying Hillary did well in their precinct around 40% n so on. Seattle will having a bulk share of the votes, large population.

Maybe those are outliers - Some 65-75 for Sanders outside Washington as well. I am just a bit negative I guess expecting the worst!

All 5 delegates at one University of Washington precinct go to Sanders, as expected.

So many people.  The gym is so packed that we've overflown

52-2 but she is doing ok in many areas!

[RI]

Most precincts I see on twitter are going 2-1 or 3-1 for Bernie. A few higher than that.

It looks like based on the early data, Benchmark is also predicting a 65-35 win for Sanders. Not sure if I trust their model or not, but I guess we'll see.

Ugh is CNN going to be showing the cretins advocating for their candidates again

[Shadows]

I think Seattle although being a strong Bernie city will drag this thing down - If Bernie gets 60-62% in Seattle compared to 67-70% otherwise, due to the sheer population, this thing will fall below 65%.

Dunno we just got few stray tweets n stuff, so difficult to say! I Hope Seattle stays strong!

CNN election coverage without Wolf Blitzer?  What is this?

[The Other Castro]

Sanders getting +70% in a combination of some Seattle precincts according to CNN.

You don't expect Wolf to work on the Sabbath, do you?

The King5 local channel is awesome. They showed so many live caucuses, speeches & delegate allocations.

Amazing  - Real thanks to the one who posted - Thank you! Looks good for Bernie so far!

[The Other Castro]

Seems The Guardian may be wrong on timing, because Benchmark Politics says results are coming in very soon (I'm assuming for Washington).

I didn't know he was Jewish?  If that's true, very cool.

I saw that.  Hillary's going to have a bad day in Washington.

How could Wolf Blitzer not be Jewish?

Damn. My worst fears. Was hoping she can do 35%. If this holds Sanders nets north of 60 delegates today.

[Xing]

Final tally in my caucus

Sanders - 45 (four delegates)
Clinton - 18 (one delegate)
Undecided - 3

Slight improvement for Clinton from eight years ago.

[DINGO Joe]

How do they incorporate absentee votes into all of this?

I personally imagine that CNN asked Wolf to work it and he gave a Walter Sobchak response.

I honestly never knew, but as a Christian, I have a lot of respect for the Jews, so good for him.
