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

[The Other Castro]

Looks like Sanders could be closing the gap by over 50 delegates from Washington alone.

[Beet]

Hesus, Sanders is going to be around 80% here.

TN, unlike you, I have actually been to New Hampshire. In fact, I'm in New Hampshire right now. With that said, there is no such thing as 'angry NH women', and NH is just as much of a swing state as IA, OH, VA, FL, and CO.

You'll see in November.

Okay, tell me more about how these 'angry NH women' propelled Hillary Clinton and Carly Fiorina to victory in the primaries.

His excuse is that they voted en masse for TRUMP to do Hillary a favor.

It's only super-rural states that are reporting so far.

Most of these are small counties, but it looks like Sanders will dominate Eastern WA, and may do better than Obama did in '08. We'll get a better idea of the margin once King starts coming in, though, and I expect that's when we'll get a call.

[Sorenroy]

It looks like something's completely wrong with Betfair right now. It's showing 100-0 Clinton wins in both Alaska and Washington... did it crash and default to Clinton wins?

Also, the NYT results map shows Wahkiakum county went 17-2 Sanders with one precinct. If this is so, how did Clinton get anything out of that area? She would have been under the threshold in that one precinct. How does this work?

Wahkiakum has like ten precincts.  They must be reporting caucus sites (and delegates) instead of precincts.

It'll take a good while to post, but Sanders landslide at my caucus site in Downtown Seattle.  I don't think quite 80-20.  Some of the wealthier, older precincts split or narrowly went Clinton.  Mine was a narrow Clinton win.

Yeah, these are state delegates, not votes. More than five people voted in Garfield county, lol.

[Beet]

So far, Clinton is doing about 10.5 points worse than in '08. That puts her at around 24%. This would be the first ever caucus where she did worse than in '08, except Nevada.

[Flake]

Alcon, who did you caucus for?

That's over 98% for Sanders... but only from one precinct, so worthless.

Interesting to look at #WAcaucus on Twitter though.

[Alcon]

^ Let's see if that holds up with King County, which has a lot of wealthy people and some minorities.  So far these are all low-wage rural counties.

There are only 17 caucus locations in King County so its hardly 'worthless'.

[Beet]

Holy sh**t, Clinton may not even be viable.

Meh, probably popular vote though, and like others said, there are multiple precincts in one delegate site. With preregistration alone at 150,000 it means nearly nothing.

At least there are some sane states left to avenge Bernie for the filthy South and its voters with their Hillary-fetish ...

Tender, you do realize that your remarks will probably end up single-handedly taking down Bernie Sanders?

By "its people" I was talking about the Whites there too, not only the Blacks. The Whites down there are much more pro-Hillary than elsewhere ...

All I'm saying is that if you immediately begin to hate a part of the country that didn't vote for your lord and savior Bernie Sanders, you're going to have a bad time.

FWIW I hate the South* and I've lived there all my life!!


*not really, and there are good and bad, brilliant and stupid people everywhere, and any area with millions of people has wildly different people/areas therein that run the entire gamut, but in aggregate it is most definitely more culturally backward and sh**tty than the rest of the United States

[Beet]

98% in a 17th of Seattle, though? The last time I saw 98% anywhere on Atlas for an election result was FDR's numbers from South Carolina in 1930s era elections.

Just to show you I'm not freaking out though, it heartens me to see that Clinton has actually won a precinct (called "Silver Spurs"):

When they claim 7% are reporting, I don't think that means 7% of the caucus vote is in. Certainly those 5 rural counties are not 7% of the state population or 7% of the precincts. Is it 7% of the caucus sites?

[Alcon]

There is no way Sanders won 98% in West Seattle.  It's the most suburban part of Seattle.

yes.  Some caucus sites had a few small precincts.  Ours had like 35 big ones.
