Democratic New York Primary results thread (polls close at 9pm ET)

[Likely Voter]

Just saw Sanders on CNN say about NY "she is going to be disappointed, we are feeling very good. If there is a large voter turnout despite the impdement of 3m people not being able to participate, I think we are going to do just fine"

[Mehmentum]

Way to play that expectations game buddy. 

Also: 'Do just fine' is Sanders speak for losing.

[The Other Castro]

Expectations games at this point don't matter unless you don't care about winning.

[Gass3268]

It's making sure your voters who haven't voted yet show up.

[Holmes]

Yeah, his campaign has been on TV yesterday and his morning saying NY is a dud for them, I'd be discouraged if I were a Sanders supporter.

[Ebsy]

At a certain point in the cycle, winning is winning and losing is losing.

[Fusionmunster]

If anyone interested Benchmark has a few isolated reports on turnout.

Reports of extremely low turnout in West Brooklyn, namely Williamsburg. One of the few areas in NYC pro Sanders.

How sad.

[ElectionsGuy]

Probably more to due with the strict rules than Bernie's people forgetting to vote.

It's possible every media outlet will.

Define 'possible'.  A Sanders victory would be a huge surprise, but still within the realm of possibility.  A Sanders victory so large that it gets called the moment polls close is not.

It would have to be a double digit win, and a large one at that considering the networks would be very hesitant to make a such a surprising call until at least some results come in.

Haha, I read that as "I wonder if DDHQ is gonna call it for Clinton when the polls close LOOOOOL."

Some guy waited four hours to get to vote for Bernie.

The worst part is that was probably a provisional ballot.

[IceSpear]

The "anecdotal turnout reports" phase of election day is the worst.

[Wiz in Wis]

Amen!

[Mehmentum]

Don't worry!  We're almost into the 'deciphering ambiguous exit poll results' part of election day!

[Ebsy]

21% of the Democratic electorate is black, vs. 16% in 2008.

[trickmind]

31% Very Liberal according to MSNBC
