Map of current wait times in Harris County, TX:

Seems like the longest wait times are in white neighborhoods and maybe some Hispanic areas. Wait times go way down the further out you go.

Love reports like this, keep them coming!

Just voted for Tulsi. Not lying when I say I've had more than 10 Trump
voting friends post/text today that they crossed over and voted Biden
to stop the Communist. The precinct my dad works at, he's guess >50%
voters voted for Biden. On the way to vote I heard a black-themed
pro-Biden, anti-Bernie ad. Biden may pull this off afterall.

The Trumpers are voting against their interests for November, that's for sure.

Not really.  Tactical voting can have a way of backfiring!  2016 showed us that the unexpected can actually happen, so it makes sense to vote for the "least bad" of the opposition party that you could
come closest to living with.

Put it another way: if you were a Republican who voted for Sanders to help him win the nomination, and then he somehow beat Trump... how would you feel about having helped to elect Sanders?

Or the flip side: if you were a Democrat who tactically voted for Trump in the 2016 R primary because you thought he'd be a weak opponent in the fall... how do you feel about having helped to elect
Trump?

This.  The whole idea of 'tactical voting' is too clever by half.  The reality is someone who appears to be "unelectable" is right up until they aren't (see, e.g., Trump), and vice versa.  I've gone into this elsewhere on the forum, but coming from someone who has no real horse in the race and is indifferent about who wins, I think the only thing we can say with any certainty about Sanders (if he won the nomination), is that the race would be more unpredictable.. for the simple reason that Sanders would be the farthest left a Dem candidate has gone in at least 40 years and we have no idea how that would shake out.

Maybe it would lead to a huge D win, or loss, who knows.  There's a lot of opinions to go around on this forum, but everyone is just spitballing and nobody actually knows.

If you can't be guaranteed that a certain candidate will be better or worse for Trump to face, then it makes perfect sense to instead vote for the person you could live with and is closest to you ideologically.  Keeping that in mind, it's completely reasonable for Trump Republicans to conclude that at end of the day, taking away all the campaign puffery, personal feelings and what have you.. Biden is
closer to them ideologically than Sanders is.

Looks like Sanders will win Democrats Abroad (no shocker there), Warren will get some delegates (again no shocker there), and maybe Biden hits the threshold.

[libertpaulian]

Bernie is going to win Dems Abroad.

[Bidenworth2020]

Bernie is going to win Dems Abroad.

This. I am honestly surprised Biden is hitting viability.

[Diabolical Materialism]

Had a wonderful conversation with an older voter in North Carolina who says he was leaning towards Biden. Says he is unsure now between Sanders and Biden and joked that he'll make his choice on the way there.

Saw this concerning Boston turnout: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yZ6KNqOT29hyYiNIqoEcPEwhTDxGC3Z-DjiII9XTsi8/edit#gid=265520355

Turnout so far is highest relative to 2018 in Wards 2-5, 21, 22. That's the area immediately around Cambridge. Turnout is lowest in Wards 14, 15, and 18 which are in southern Boston.

Relatively high Cambridge turnout & relatively low Southie turnout would (anecdotally) seem to be a good sign for Warren, but I don't wanna be replied to with the Clippy meme, so let's see what happens!

Exactly. I know a few Dems who voted Trump in the primary 4 years ago to "help" Hillary. The last 4 years is their punishment and i frequently remind them. I sure as hell wasn't gonna risk Bernie getting anywhere near the nomination and if Gabbard dropped out with Amy and Pete I'd have probably voted Biden too.

^ Since when can Dems vote in a Republican primary?

[soundchaser]

^ Since when can Dems vote in a Republican primary?

Depends on the state -- many have open primaries which involve selecting which party ballot you want at the time of voting. I could see some Democrats who thought Clinton was safe crossing over to give her an ideal candidate. (It's not something I'd ever do, but it's not unheard of.)

[GeorgiaModerate]

^ Since when can Dems vote in a Republican primary?

Many states have open primaries.  Here in Georgia, there is no party registration at all; on primary day, you request which party's ballot you want when you vote (i.e. you can't mix voting in some R and some D primaries in the same election).

Ever heard of an open primary?

Given how Democrats Abroad voted in 2016, this isn’t surprising. Very strong numbers for Warren, though (also not that surprising, to be honest.)

[The Simpsons Cinematic Universe]

How many delegates do DA actually get?

Almost all of the Westerners I know here like Bernie.

[RussFeingoldWasRobbed]

As Long as Bernie wins TX and wins CA by double digits, I will be satisfied. I think there are too many rural blacks in NC for him to win

[Gass3268]

Almost all of the Westerners I know here like Bernie.

They get 13, so more than the territories (minus Puerto Rico), but 1 less than Wyoming.

People here are talking about Sanders's dominance abroad like it isn't the most obvious thing ever since even before the primary season begun.

I'm guessing that's bad for Biden?

What was the anti-Bernie angle of the ad?
