OP

(11,605 posts)1. There are still a lot of outstanding precincts in and around Detroit
Which probably have a lot of votes per precinct. That would be my guess as to why it has not been called. Normally, I would be cynical and say that the media is holding off as long as possible so people go to bed and don't notice, but there are a lot of outstanding votes in Detroit. I am not counting my chickens yet.

(3,623 posts)7. That's true...
...but John King also showed a number of counties with Sanders up big and a large percentage of votes not counted yet. One of them was at only 44% reported and Sanders ahead by 25-30 points.

They want people to go to bed and forget about it.
4% lead with 87% in and they STILL haven't called it. LOL.
