Democratic Freak States Holy Saturday results thread (1st caucuses begin @1pmET)

[Boston Bread]

If they had time to print "campaign suspended" on the ballot, why couldn't they have just removed O'Malley from the ballot?

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Lyndon and Smith really are best friends here.

But why have O'MALLEY on the ballot? It makes no sense honestly.

CNN just ended coverage, said we shouldn't expect Hawaii results until midnight.

Does Hawaii report their results all at once via a press conference?

Because he paid the money to be on the ballot.

If it is going to take that long, probably.

Looks like a lot of olds there:

YES! Tonight is a GREAT night!

Skamania County goes Sanders 90-10

[LLR]

Skamania County goes Sanders 90-10

46-5

Wow, that's pretty amazing.

[Fuzzybigfoot]

Skamania County goes Sanders 90.2-9.8

Fixed!  

[Xing]

King will probably end up around 2-1 for Sanders, meaning he'll probably stay just above 70. YUGE win.

[RI]

Whatcom and Thurston should help Bernie too.

[Fuzzybigfoot]

Really hoping Bernie increases his percentage in King.

I think all states should have primaries. And, I think if Washington Republicans can have a primary for delegates, Democrats should certainly do so as well. I would hope this is something the party can work on for the future once we have our nominee.

Agreed, but it sounds like the Washington Caucus is relatively new. Used to be a primary, but they switched.

Huh?  Caucuses have existed in Washington for many years, it's just that there's also a primary.  The Republicans have sometimes split the delegate allocation between caucuses and primary, but I don't think the primary has been used for delegate allocation on the Dem. side for a while.

According to Rachel Maddow's show, Republicans switched from a caucus to a primary after Pat Robertson won the Washington caucuses in 1988.

Yakima County goes Sanders 76-24

The same reason Jeb! remained on several ballots.

In 2008 and 2012 they had a caucus.

I would've thought Clinton would do better in Yakima. There's a decent Latino population there.

It was one of Clinton's better counties in 08. Sanders won latinos in a few states, like IL, so he could be winning them in WA too.
