Democratic Acela Corridor Tuesday results thread (all polls close at 8pm ET)

[MisSkeptic]

Win or lose, the Democrat party feels more solid and warm. I like that!

Agreed, I'm like 99% on board with Clinton now (VP choice could change my mind) and I'm ready to beat Trump.

Anyone have county data for CT and RI?

Thanks!

[RI]

Looking at some county pages, it seems there were a fairly substantial number of write-in votes on the Dem side in Pennsylvania that aren't being reported by the AP.

In Greene County, for example, write-ins made up nearly 16% of the Dem vote.

Wow! WV is going to be crazy.

Hopefully Bernie toning it down will lead to his less pleasant supporters also toning it down, and perhaps he's giving them some time for reality to sink in. As I've said, I want Sanders to stay in until June, so that his supporters all get their chance to vote for him. After that, I'm 100% ready for Hillary.

Dave already uploaded RI results.

Hillary has 45 precincts in Philly to expand her margin over Sanders to over 200k votes. I think she'll make it.

[IceSpear]

Hillary won my town 51-49. Or by 19 votes. That was close...

Trump won it with >60%. They walk among me...

[Landslide Lyndon]

We're shifting from candidate campaign to issue campaign it seems.

Bernie was always running an issue campaign.

He just forgot to tell that to his supporters and surrogates.

I wonder how many were for trump.

[Crumpets]

Here's the PA swing map. It's an interesting case of de-polarization with every Obama county swinging to Clinton and every Clinton county save Allegheny and Montgomery swinging to Sanders. Centre County definitely surprises me.

[Holmes]

Maybe fracking played a big role in Centre county, but the students saved the day for Sanders.

[IceSpear]

Yeah, Centre was a pretty strange result. Hasn't Bernie usually done better in college areas than Obama did? Bucks and Allegheny were pretty surprising too. Most of these swings were pretty expected but I actually thought they'd be even stronger than they were.

[The Other Castro]

I think it's a pretty good sign for the general that on the day Democrats are starting to unify, the runner up (that was just mathematically eliminated from winning the 1st ballot) for the Republican nomination names his VP pick.

Not really. The Ivy League areas haven't been as strong as Obama. Washtenaw County, Michigan wasn't that strong. He lost college counties in the south (Clarke County, GA, Alachula County, FL) or was much weaker than Obama (Brazos County, TX, Travis County, TX).

[Dr. Arch]

I'm confident that Bernie supporters will be able to rally to Clinton as I already have. There might be some resistance at the beginning, and there will always be holdouts, but I get that feeling so far.

All the college student "special snowflakes" are voting for the intersectionalism fan.

So I just noticed that Hillary won the "very liberal" vote in all 3 states that had exit polls (PA/MD/CT). She likely won it in DE as well, judging from the margin. This is interesting since she lost this demographic pretty much everywhere outside of the South, including Ohio and New York.

Democrats are coming home to their queen. The socialist will at the very least win 5 more states (WV, OR, ND, SD, MT), but those are safe one way or the other in the general anyways, so to use his own lines "WHO CARES?!?".
