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

[Landslide Lyndon]

They don't have the population, but they sure as hell have the delegates. Sanders just made up over 500,000 vote deficit from Florida today.

Im just gonna put you on ignore. Oh wait, I can't because your a moderator. Torie with his conspiracy theories, Tender Branson with his racism, you with your hysterics. I'm just gonna come back here when Hillary is sworn in, alright?

Seriously, Likely Voter is the only level headed one still here right now.

And Mr. Morden.

I'm honored if I'm being confused with Mr. Morden

Oh, I didn't confuse you. I just forgot that you're a mod too.

Congratulations to the Sanders campaign for the hard fought win in the Alaska caucus.

King is tied at 50 with 8% in, I imagine some of the more wealthier areas are the ones reporting now.

One delegate each. Obviously not a very large precinct, so we don't know much yet.

[Pragmatic Conservative]

Lewis goes 81-18 for Sanders, Asotin County goes Sanders 67-33

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

I wonder if Violent Socialist caucused today

[Flake]

Lewis County 2008: 65% Obama
Lewis County 2016: 81% Sanders

Asotin County 2008: 60% Obama
Asotin County 2016: 67% Sanders

King is one precinct in and Hillary and Bernie are tied w/ one vote each (71% Obama) and Snohomish County had another precinct report and it's now 76% Bernie.

[Alcon]

Looks like some suburban parts of Seattle were significantly closer.  The Queen Anne caucus site was 43 Sanders, 37 Clinton.

The 1-1 thing in King County is just a test.

[muon2]

Half the vote total so far from WA represents 2 Snohomish precincts.

[Ebowed]

Bernie would probably win AK against Trump in the general.

No. AK wants to drill, baby drill. Bernie being against anything that might harm the environment will not play there.

Given that communities on the Alaskan shore are facing potential extinction, there could be more of an appetite to curb climate change there than you'd expect.

At this point, the only two people in the history of the modern Democratic Party primary system who did better than Bernie Sanders but didn't win the Democratic nomination were Gary Hart and Hillary '08.

Why do these wealthier precincts vote clinton when sanders is less religious?

[Lief 🗽]

Why do these wealthier precincts vote clinton when sanders is less religious?

Because they don't want Sanders to drive them into bankruptcy with his insane tax plans?

[Tetro Kornbluth]

Sorry to be annoying but link to the results?

Religion is a non-issue, until crazy far-right wing people try to enforce it.

[Pragmatic Conservative]

Pierce coming in now 78-22 Sanders 13% in

[Fuzzybigfoot]

Have all the caucus places in Washington closed yet, Alcon?  When can we call it?

[Alcon]

Anecdotally hearing that Pierce County will be very heavily Sanders.

edit: first caucus site in there -- 77.5% Sanders

That's because most candidates get the message and drop out when it becomes clear they don't have a chance and are polarizing the party.

And yes, that's an indictment of Hillary in 2008 too, but at least she eventually decided to stop villifying her opponent. Sanders hasn't yet clued in on why that's important.

[dax00]

Does anyone know if anybody has live splits of the Washington caucus results by CD? If so, where?

[Pragmatic Conservative]

Sorry to be annoying but link to the results?

I'm guessing we get a call once more results from King come in.

religion has absolutely been one of the reasons for sanders trouble in the black south.

Franklin County goes 80-20 Sanders

Does anyone have a breakdown of the Alaska votes?  The NY Times was supposed to report by House District, but their map is blank. It would be interesting to see how the Native Alaskans voted compared to the rest of the state. From how the results came in, it looks like it was more or less the same.
