And Wyoming. Even though Bernie won, he should have won with another 20%. FourScore Apr 2016 #13

Seems so unfair. Eom Jennylynn Apr 2016 #10

Sanders won low density counties.
IDK what happens with the provisional votes. Most likely heavily Sanders, but not enough of them. Margin of victory far more than exit polls. Looks like Sanders pulled same numbers as Obama.

that the ONE PLACE that is having all the election shenanigans, is BROOKLYN, where Bernie was BORN and grew up. Just saying...this isn't over. Hang in there everyone. Anything can happen from here on out. Keep the faith

Despite being larger geographically, we only have about 30% of NY's population.

BTW, my county went to Sanders by about 65%

1) Minorities are no more self aware than whites. Most Americans are frightfully uninformed and vote against their own best self-interests constantly.

2) Only 29% of registered Democratic voters voted.

Bernie won, damn near, the entire state, but Rahm gave her Chicago, so she won.
To win Illinois, you have to win Chicago. It looks like NYC does the same for NY.

PEACE
LOVE
