Democratic Acela Corridor Tuesday results thread (all polls close at 8pm ET)

[Mr. Morden]

Overview of all results: http://www.politico.com/2016-election/results/map/president

Polls in all five states close at 8pm.

Connecticut, Maryland, and Pennsylvania will all have exit polls.  Delaware and Rhode Island will not.

At 5pm, the networks will be given access to the early exit poll numbers.  So some time between about 5:10 and 5:30pm or so, we’ll start getting news reports from them about things like what percentage of the voters are Independents, what the top issues on voters’ minds are, etc.  But they’ll withhold the topline numbers (who is winning the exit poll) until all the polls have closed in the state.

[Mr. Morden]

From Twitter...people in line in Maryland, waiting for the polls to open (this pic is from 2 hours ago, to the polls are open now):

[°Leprechaun]

Nobody polled me. (I have a separate thread on another board to discuss the mess in PA, and wasn't sure where to post it: it is often an ambiguous thing obviously)

[Gass3268]

I voted about 45 minutes ago. Yay democracy!

[°Leprechaun]

Great! You deserve a big thumbs up! I won't ask you which candidate for POTUS that you voted for, because it is a secret ballot (LOL).

[KingSweden]

I voted about 45 minutes ago. Yay democracy!

Kudos, good for you! 😀

[Holmes]

I voted about 45 minutes ago. Yay democracy!

Edwards or Van Hollen?

I believe he said Edwards in another thread.

Edwards, but my finacé went with Van Hollen.

[Wells]

Benchmark Politics final benchmarks:

Those match my predictions pretty well:

Connecticut - Clinton 56; Sanders 44
Delaware - Clinton 61; Sanders 39
Maryland - Clinton 65; Sanders 35
Pennsylvania - Clinton 58; Sanders 42
Rhode Island - Clinton 47; Sanders 53

[The Other Castro]

Turnout is very high in Pittsburgh.

[Xing]

Benchmark Politics final benchmarks:

Seems a little bullish on Clinton in CT, but these seem like plausible results.

[dspNY]

Turnout is very high in Pittsburgh.

Good for Clinton

[The Other Castro]

Turnout is very high in Pittsburgh.

Good for Clinton

More good news for her, extremely high turnout in Hanover.

[Gass3268]

Turnout is very high in Pittsburgh.

Good for Clinton

More good news for her, extremely high turnout in Hanover.

Really? I was assuming that York and Lancaster counties would be good areas for Sanders.

[Xing]

I'm curious whether that's better news for Sestak or McGinty.

[Fusionmunster]

I know some of you guys hate these anecdotal turnout reports but it keeps up political junkies with too much time on our hands busy during these long hour waiting for the polls to close.

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

Turnout is very high in Pittsburgh.

Good for Clinton

More good news for her, extremely high turnout in Hanover.

Really? I was assuming that York and Lancaster counties would be good areas for Sanders.

They are.  These are white areas that went for Obama in the 2008 primary when Clinton won the state by 10.  The Clintons are not popular out there.  

[Fusionmunster]

Turnout is very high in Pittsburgh.

Good for Clinton

More good news for her, extremely high turnout in Hanover.

Benchmark says Hannover has a high median age, i.e: old people.

That was Lancaster, not York.  My mistake.

Yet, its in a county that Nate Cohn has projected to Sanders.

[The Other Castro]

Well, we at least know there is high turnout in these areas regardless of who they favor. Benchmark Politics and Nate Cohn seem to disagree on which counties favor which candidate.

[Ebsy]

The reaction here to anecdotal reports of high turnout is always incredibly amusing.

[dspNY]

Heavy Pittsburgh turnout would be good for Clinton. Heavy turnout in the T (Scranton excepted) would be good for Sanders
