OMG! Sanders' percentage has doubled! The Sandersmentum is unreal!

Do these Clinton scores among Blacks indicate anything other than a personality cult ? Low information vote ? I mean dayum !

You're verging on some racism there...

Where ? I'm just asking the reasons it's so high, which are not self-evident to me.

[RI]

Hillary is going to win every county.

Not necessarily. The early vote should be much more black than the overall vote.

Uh, are you really in a position to talk about cultists?

About as much of a position as you are, Icy.

Black voters over 65: 96-3 for Hillary!!! per MSNBC

[Mr. Morden]

Close battle for 3rd place:

Other   54   0.6   

[IceSpear]

Hillary wins 65+ blacks 96-3.

Uh, that's utterly astounding.

[MisterElection2001]

Wilson just lost his lead over O'Malley a second ago.

lol dude you are from France. Don't even think for one second you can comment on the choices black Americans make regarding politics.

[IceSpear]

Whites (34%): 58-42 Sanders
Non-Whites (66%): 83-17 Clinton

This is the only good thing for Sanders.

He still has a sizable lead amongst whites, which will bode well for him in very white electorates going forward.

The bad news of course is that he did far worse than he said he would with black voters and he has no chance of winning in the south.

Doesn't matter. The non white number ends his campaign tonight.

Yes. She is inevitable. Congrats IceSpear!

Thank you. However, I will only formally accept my accolades once she is the presumptive nominee.

[This account no longer in use.]

Honestly, I don't see the reason why black people would vote for anybody other than TRUMP.

Clinton regularly made racially charged attacks on Obama, our greatest president, during the 2008 campaign. It is clear that she is no true friend of African-Americans.

Sanders moved away from Brooklyn because Brooklyn had too many African-Americans for his white supremacist ideals. He moved to the whitest part of the country.

Also, notice the fact that Black Lives Matter has protested Sanders and Clinton events, but never TRUMP events.

[The Other Castro]

I'm guessing this'll end somewhere around a 37 point lead for Clinton, damnnnnnn.

As far as I am concerened, she already is.

[Adam Griffin]

I just got home and saw these exit polls. Wow. I'm guessing lower turnout really skewed the electorate in Clinton's direction. If these hold in any real way (and we're not seeing some variation of the Bradley Effect), then it's over. RIP.

[RI]

Aiken seems to be Sanders's best county so far.

Uh, are you really in a position to talk about cultists?

Yes, I think I am. Since, you know, I don't actually live in your country and don't care that much about Sanders or anything. Still, I try to understand the patterns, and fail to understand this one where the less progressive white candidate of 2016 wins Blacks with a larger margin than the more progressive black candidate of 2008.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Here is the ballot:



The box next to the name is already black.  So how do you actually vote?  Punch a hole through the box?  Circle the name?  And what is "President District 6" supposed to mean?  Are we electing a president of the United States, or a president of only certain districts?

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF SOUTH CAROLINIANS ARE BEING DISENFRANCHISED RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THIS BALLOT IS TOO CONFUSING

That looks like a black and white printout of the color touchscreen of the voting machine. District 6 refers to the fact that the vote will be used in determining delegates selected from Congressional District 6. Unfortunately, we have precincts with voters split between different districts, so the reminder to the voter may well be needed as the poll worker may have loaded the wrong ballot by mistake.

[Bigby]

This will NOT be good for Bernie come Super Tuesday. If Clinton becomes presumptive nominee, will Republicans rally behind Trump out of fear?

[Wells]

Hillary Clinton   9,747       79.5%   
-
 Bernie Sanders   2,437   19.9   
-
Other   74   0.6

The margin TRUMP wins blacks by in the general will be far greater than the one Clinton is winning them by in this primary. Probably by more than Obama won them in 2008. He has a great relationship with THE BLACKS.

I will surely make sure to ask for your permission to ask questions or post posts from now on.

Hillary wins blacks under 30 56-43.
