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

Ummm....

9% of Clinton voters would back Trump over Clinton
39% of Sanders voters would back Trump over Sanders

Looks like we may have some Trump supporters causing shenanigans in WV.

Pro-Trump Independents no longer have a reason to vote in the GOP primary.

But what's the point in voting for a candidate in a primary that you didn't intend to vote for in the general?

I can imagine Trump supporters voting in the DEM primary to weaken Hillary Clinton. It would be nice to see some numbers, though I doubt that is possible.

62% of Dems who want "less liberal policies" voted Sanders lol

Trying to understand this. Cross over voters?

Were the polling stations in disused mines? Do they have to raise the ballots from below ground and then load them on mules to take them to train stations? What the hell is going on?

lol

How important is Charlseton for the final outcome of the Dem Primary?

Why are there so many "others" getting votes?

Yea it is a little strange, but explainable, that the total of Sanders and Clinton votes does not get close to 100%

Sanders lead in the state now approaching double digits.

So there is a god....   

Are we finally moving towards the exit polls?

Clinton over 60% in Nebraska early.

Nebraska Dems are not voting today. Only Reps.

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.

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.
