Great news!

I wonder if the felon/prison inmate can crack 20%. #Juddmentum

Is O'Malley on the ballot? Because if so, O'Malleymentum is coming.

Nope. The people on the ballot are:

Hillary Clinton
Bernie Sanders
Rocky De La Fuente
Keith Judd
Paul T. Farrell Jr.

I think De La Fuente is probably too "ethnic" sounding to get many protest votes, so he shouldn't matter very much. But unfortunately, Judd and Farrell could split the protest vote, leading neither one to receive any delegates.

"The 18% of voters who are undecided is unusually high and speaks to the number of registered Democrats in West Virginia who don't really identify with the national party at this point. Among the undecideds Sanders has a 15/77 favorability rating and Clinton's even worse off at 12/84 so there may end up being a decent mass of voters who just don't vote for either of the candidates."

LOLz. Maybe the convict can get some delegates.

I'd hope so, but with Paul Farrell on the ballot siphoning his votes, neither one will likely break the 15% threshold.

On that note, Sanders could now win even bigger, since indies no longer have a reason to vote in the GOP primary.

That could actually make some of the other races in the next few primary states more competitive if some of these independent voters go after Sanders since the GOP race is over.

It won't change the Dem race that much but it'll make it more interesting.

WV is the only state it will matter.

KY/OR/NJ/NM - Closed
CA/MT/SD - Closed on the GOP side, so indies would've been forced to the Dem side regardless
ND - Open, and GOP will not/did not have a contest, so indies would be forced Dem here as well
