Early voting results (highest among older voters) pat_k May 2016 #14
I love those older voters!! DCBob May 2016 #15
Or not. frylock May 2016 #18
Do you know who the other/s are with almost 10% of the vote? NWCorona May 2016 #22
I have no idea.. this is rather interesting with 10% in. DCBob May 2016 #23
Indeed! NWCorona May 2016 #26
exit polls are like all polls: prone to error ericson00 May 2016 #24
I wonder if the Trumpers for Bernie were messing with the exit pollers. DCBob May 2016 #25
pollsters could also have misidentified voters ericson00 May 2016 #27
I suspect Bernie is going to win this but maybe not nearly a big as predicted. DCBob May 2016 #29
Funny, they worked rather well for the repugs, sadoldgirl May 2016 #28
what are you insinuating? Ohhhh excuses for Bernie's record of losing ericson00 May 2016 #30
CNN and MSNBC have Hillary ahead.. n/t doc03 May 2016 #31
Seems pretty stupid for MSNBC to call it for Bernie, when its this close. MoonRiver May 2016 #32
Bernie is gaining now. DCBob May 2016 #34
CNN still has it too close to call. Just saying. MoonRiver May 2016 #38
Yeah, just saw that. DCBob May 2016 #40
I've been told a 10% spread is a landslide... TCJ70 May 2016 #36

Let's see what happens when another Kanawha precinct drops. NWCorona May 2016 #37
Is Kanawha a Bernie area? DCBob May 2016 #39
It doesn’t look like it at this point. The last time a few from there hit. Hillary took the lead bac NWCorona May 2016 #41
That's Charleston so yeah I would think that might be more Hillary territory. DCBob May 2016 #43
There are still a ton of votes out from Kanawha. DCBob May 2016 #47
Yup! this will probably be a close one. NWCorona May 2016 #48
Bernie is winning all the rural counties and Hillary is only winning around Charleston. DCBob May 2016 #49
I'm not taking nothing for granted! NWCorona May 2016 #51
I didn't expect that. Especially considering the spread it started with. nt NWCorona May 2016 #60
Looks like a decent decent win for Bernie tonight. DCBob May 2016 #61
Up 49 to 40% with 17% reporting. elleng May 2016 #53
Bernie needs 19 of the 29 delegates to keep his target at 65% LuvLoogie May 2016 #54

That graphic is a waste also.

The reason I consider it useless is because they only have the results by county. For a Democratic Primary results for the congressional districts is the data that is needed to compute delegate breakdowns.

Since we're nominating the lesser candidate we can go ahead and write WV as well as a ton of other states off before we even start.

That's ridiculous. WV will never vote for a Democrat for President unless they are pro-Coal.

or have had problems since its been a very long time since a real contest has happened there. Hillary also does well when under pressure; not to mention, her listening tours tend to work rather well.

...so maybe 5% is comfortable?

Personally, 10% doesn't seem like a landslide to me, but I don't make the rules.

of the remaining delegates to win the majority of pledged delegates. He has to do much better than a 10% margin to keep from falling further behind.
