The counties where all the votes are are the five counties of NYC, the two Long Island counties to the east of NYC and the counties the 3-4 counties above the Bronx — Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Putnam — few of the others matter except the counties where Rochester, Buffalo and Syracuse are, and they are urban and pro-Hillary.

It's not our first rodeo here in Bernie Land, where the Queen may not be proclaimed before the crown has been properly placed ....

Let's see what the rest of NY has to say about it ....

where the votes aren't all counted by Bernie is winning. Here's the link where they update county by county.

This is going to tighten up. It's a shame they call it on the numbers in Manhattan and the Boroughs which is disproportionate.

Only a little more than half the state has been counted so far...

Those big acreages don't matter unless they have enough population to increase their electoral votes.

And I heard about it! Still, I agree that that's a lot of area for Bernie. I was told minorities make the difference and urban areas are higher diversity which is true. But how many of those minorities actually vote. In 2014 Pew said one in three...

Still Clinton/Sanders numbers were really close with Sanders only a few hundred more in most cases.
