Democratic New York Primary results thread (polls close at 9pm ET)

[Mr. Morden]

Polls in New York will be open from 6am to 9pm ET.

At 5pm, the networks will be given access to the early exit poll numbers.  So some time between about 5:10 and 5:30pm or so, we’ll start getting news reports from them about things like what percentage of the voters are Independents, what the top issues on voters’ minds are, etc.  But they’ll withhold the topline numbers (who is winning the exit poll) until all the polls have closed in the state.

What weird election rules.

[Mr. Morden]

Here's video of a polling place in Erie just after the polls opened:

Anyone want to try to profile those people, to guess who they voted for, and thereby infer who's winning?

[YPestis25]

Apparently voting is off to a great start.

The Democratic ballots actually tell you whether a delegate candidate is male or female?

[Lief 🗽]

High turnout at my precinct. Lots of olds and wealthies. Very few youngs. Looks like Lyin' Bernie's fixin' to get a good old fashioned New York whuppin'.

I would guess there is a gender quota for the delegates in each county?

Well with the electorate being about 65% 45+ and it being late morning, of course you'd see lots of olds.

Everybody knows hipster don't vote until after noon.

[DINGO Joe]

Any reason to think NY, especially NYC, won't be uberslow in reporting results?

I thought they voted before it was cool?

Yep, good ole New York violating the equal protection clause for years without a care.

New York not having early voting is a far more egregious fact than its closed primaries.

I can get behind that, but I wasn't talking about closed primaries.  I just meant how people in the New York City area and Buffalo get six more hours to vote than everyone else in the state.  Especially since the morning is the easiest time to vote for a lot of people.

I understand, it's just that some people suddenly discovered that closed primaries are worse than Hitler but have nothing to say about things that actually suppress the vote like the ones you mentioned and what I added.

At least you're not Wisconsin.

I think there's a rule that DNC delegations have to be gender-balanced, or something like that.

[Gass3268]

Thinking it over, I'd be more okay with New York's closed primary if they handled it differently. There just seems to be way to many restrictions and impediments than just requiring folks to be registered.

[The Other Castro]

Sanders telling a crowd in Eerie that he's going to win Pennsylvania. Looks like he knows how tonight is headed...

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

I think it's gonna be 58-42 in favor of Clinton.

His internals might be painting a grim picture.

I don't have much of an issue with a closed Primary, it should be up to each individual state, however the deadline to switch parties being six months before the Primary is absurd.
