Democratic WV primary + NE fake contest results thread (1st polls close @7:30ET)

[Boston Bread]

Any reason why Bernie wins whites in the outer south but not the deep south?

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Clinton lead in Kanawha County now just 48-45. Look like the primary map is even more ruined now.

Kentucky needs to vote Bernie now to keep continuity.

[Xing]

Yes! These were the only two states I wanted Hillary to lose. I'm so happy.

Mississippi? Alabama?

Those states are hellholes, but in a Democratic primary it's the base of the party that is voting. No problems there.

No issues with Kentucky?

[sportydude]

Do you think there will be a live coverage of the NE result on CNN?

The answer to my question is obviously NO.
They didn't even advert to the non-binding primary.

I'd wager Hillary takes Kentucky. Since its super closed and Hillary managed to win Democrats in WV, the map is gonna be ugly.

[The Other Castro]

Clinton now below 40%, Sanders lead at 9.8%.

[cinyc]

Clinton over 60% in Nebraska early.

Nebraska Dems are not voting today. Only Reps.

Nope. There's a beauty contest there

beauty contest?

There's also a primary, but the caucus is what counts for the delegates.

Interesting. I don't quite get the sense of this. It seems like a waste of time and money.

The Nebraska primary is being held no matter what.  It's the statewide primary for all offices, and there are other races on the ballot.  It's only non-binding on the Democratic side because the Democrats decided to hold a binding caucus earlier.  Which of those is the true waste of money, the primary that's going to happen anyway, or the totally optional caucus.

This is true of a lot of the late states, BTW - the presidential race isn't the only race on the primary ballot.  It's the statewide primary for all offices.

Coal country isn't the entire state, thankfully. I have nothing against Louisville and Lexington.

[Holmes]

So... looking back, how did Hillary win SW PA?

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Stupid question: can someone who already participated in the NE caucus also vote in the primary?

Yes.

It doesn't matter, thats why.

NYT calls it for Sanders...

The exit poll voter ID is based on self-identification, not registration. Plenty of dems counted as Independent in the exit polls are registered democrats.

There are nowhere near as many Dixiecrats in Western PA as there are in WV. On top of that, it was closed.

Higher African American population too.

Clinton under 40% in WV

[The Other Castro]

Sanders WV lead now over 10%, will likely end up around 12-14. In FakeNebraska, Clinton still up big with 61-39 and 9% of precincts in. Probably bodes well for SD.

Regardless, Hillary continues her streak of winning democrats, "self-identifying" or otherwise.

Fair enough.

CNN says that Sanders wins in the white states of Vermont, New Hampshire and West Virginia. What exactly does this mean?

I think it is more complex than just saying "white voters" vote for Sanders.

[Xing]

NYT calls ir for Sanders...

You should have reacted like that when Sanders won freaking New Hampshire.

And yeah, Clinton will KY.

Interesting that you mock us for not being big fans of WV, considering how you treat NH. I'm glad Sanders won NH, it definitely flew in the face of part of your "theory."

I wouldn't be so sure about KY. Clinton will do well in western KY, but eastern KY could be good for Sanders. Clinton's 50-48 win among registered Democrats in WV doesn't indicate a strong advantage going into KY.

[Gass3268]

Kanawha County flips to Sanders.

[IceSpear]

Judd pulls ahead of O'Malley!

[Maxwell]

I almost expected her to do worse.

[RI]

Sanders over 50% statewide in WV
