Democratic Washington, DC Primary results thread (polls close at 8pm ET)

[LLR]

Ward 4 disappeared, had to be a test.

No, I'm pretty sure it's just that the first election day precinct came in. It now says 1 of 20 precincts reporting instead of Initial Results.

De La Fuente has less raw votes now, so it definitely was a test

CNN has called DC for Clinton

I thought so to but De La Fuente lost votes.

Ward 8 is Bernie's best so far - hilarious

[Gass3268]

Poor De La Fuente

Ward 8 is Bernie's best so far - hilarious

That would be Ward 1.

[Seriously?]

Is De La Fuente gets more votes than Trump, D.C. is officially awesome.

Considering how DC is the three-EV handicap that the Democrats get in the general, any "Republican" that votes there is in tune with the establishment and how pathetic the Republican "convention" was... (one precinct, shortened hours, lines around the block on the Sabbath with 2,700 Republicans votes cast), I wouldn't be shocked if De La Fuente bests Trump's 391 vote tally.

Yes, because that totally changed results.

De La Fuente is over 100! Come on, Rocky, you can beat Little Donny's number!

You obviously don't remember the magical Jew caucus in the 2012 Nevada GOP caucus.

I mean, I know we control the world, and the media - but Nevada 2012? I didn't know we had that much power.

D. C. has voted for the Democratic nominee every election since 1988 (when it voted for Jesse Jackson)

They had to extend the poll closing time to accommodate the Hasidism, who could not cast a vote on the Sabbath. So in a way, it did affect the results a bit as the window was very narrow for them to cast a ballot after the sun went down. My point was that the Republican process in the least Republican area that actually has EVs in the general was a sad caricature of how much of a joke the Republican Party is in DC.

Did it affect the outcome? Probably not. However, Rubio beat Kasich there by 50 votes. Every vote mattered.

The only other primary/caucus on the Republican side that could rival that is the one in the Virgin Islands where some carpetbaggers garnered up enough votes to become delegates, only to be DQed by the VI GOP chair on a technicality. There apparently was an actual fight when they sought to replace the delegates at a meeting. That will ultimately be handled by the credentials committee in Cleveland.

D. C. has voted for the Democratic nominee every election since 1988 (when it voted for hometown Shadow Senator Jesse Jackson)

He wasn't a shadow Senator until 1991.

So, will this be the biggest swing for Hillary from '08?

Not if you include the Virgin Islands.

D.C. Republicans held extended hours for all Orthodox Jews, not just Hasidic Jews.  Most Orthodox Jews are not Hasidic, especially outside of New York and New Jersey.  Washington D.C.'s largest Orthodox congregations appear to be Kesher Israel in Georgetown, the spiritual home of a lot of Washington's Orthodox Jewish power brokers, and Ohev Sholom in Shepard Park, which bills itself as the National Synagogue.  It was Ohev Sholom's rabbi who successfully petitioned D.C. Republicans to hold special hours for Orthodox voters.  Neither of those congregations are Hasidic, best I can tell.  While I wouldn't doubt there are some Hasidic Jews living in Washington D.C., I'd be surprised if they are a majority of the Orthodox Jews living there.

Needs more Rand Paul.

Looks like the results are final. Clinton wins 78.7-21.1.

That gave me a nice chuckle.
