2016 Postmortem

Hillary is 28% ahead in Bernie's home state.

(99,711 posts)I thought 200,000 people voted in Washington. Is that incorrect?

(24,089 posts)I do agree though. We should know voters as well as delegates

(99,711 posts)But, hey, we all make mistakes...And I don't believe it was intentional.

(40,656 posts)what? There is no guarantee that the people of new york will vote for the carpetbagger. This election cycle should tell everyone that.

BTW, he loved New York so much he moved to Vermont. Great career move, though.

Then one should get one's numbers right -- or expect a few barbs in return IMO.

(93 posts)Upstate NY doesn't even like Clinton at all.
I see many Bernie signs, but not Clinton signs.
Now, shoo, before you look silly.

(71,265 posts)I think she may break 65% here.

(99,711 posts)I think you look silly issuing unenforceable ultimatums on the internet, am I right?

Hard to believe after the long series of results showing up the polls that they're still trying to sell any and every poll, especially weeks in advance of a primary vote.

(1,377 posts)Many Many states do not keep the individual vote. Most of the caucus do not pass on the votes of each voter but the vote of precinct delegates. That is why so many Hillary supporters where silly and posted about how only 26K people voted in WA. Math only works when you are smart enough to understand what the numbers mean.
Bobby has 5 apples and buys 2 oranges the answer how many apples does Bobby have is not 7.

(7,028 posts)I was commenting on the supposed lack of enthusiasm for Hillary. So I am offering empirical evidence that shows Hillary voters have so far been more enthusiastic given the votes tallied. If a Bernie voter wants to slam enthusiasm for Hillary, real numbers undermine that assertion.
I suppose you could show me the non-popular-vote-reporting caucus states that Bernie won and claim that he won those states by 2.5 million people or more. Most would think such a claim dubious.

February 19, 2008
"It's like the Florida recount, but in Harlem.
Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was shortchanged hundreds of votes in several largely African American precincts in New York City, the New York Post reports.
Eighty election districts in New York City didn't record a single vote for Obama. Thousands for Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and hundreds for former No. Carolina Sen. John Edwards, somehow did.
As the New York Times reports, in one largely black district in Brooklyn, the initial tally was 118 to 0, a Clinton sweep. A review showed the actual result was 118 for Clinton, 116 to Obama."

(24,979 posts)Hey, if she's a million miles ahead according to all these junk polls that almost always turn out WRONG, whose vote do you think that's likelier to suppress? (Hint: Not Sanders').

(24,544 posts)761,000 voted in the state of Georgia alone.
300,000 across three states is fucking ridiculous.
