Super Tuesday Results Thread

[Sbane]

Fun fact: it looks like Julian Castro (and to a lesser extent Rocky de la Fuente) got a fair number of votes in the Rio Grande Valley.

Looks like the same is happening in Imperial County, CA.

Buttigieg according to The Green Papers actually has a delegate from California based on results so far.

He's at 16.1% in CA-36 but that almost certainly won't hold

I see you Palm Springs!

Skews heavily Retirees % White.

*** Numbers are likely skewed by Write-In Ballots between ED numbers and County level numbers.

Regardless, looks like Biden benefited from late breakers, and exhibited similar weaknesses as in parts of IA and NH among older White retirees....

Most likely this will be close to the final vote tally within the County, outside of a few Provisionals here and there...

Hopefully Sanders can GAIN another 50K out of CA.

This is my bi-yearly reminder that the way California counts its votes is a disgrace.  Every year I hear the excuse that "its a really big state so it takes longer", which has no bearing on their ability to count votes.

It's the single most damning thing about "the National Popular Vote" plan is our most populous state takes 6 weeks to count votes. Right now, California incompetence and poor government is internalized to only affecting Californians. I do not want it to be affecting me.

How would this state ever be able to handle a statewide recount? Seriously, let's think about this. Now probably not for president because the Democrats enjoy supermajority status currently. But say you have a Governor or Senator race with 2 Democrats on the ballot and they're 50/50. How long would it take for them to declare a definitive winner?

This is my bi-yearly reminder that the way California counts its votes is a disgrace.  Every year I hear the excuse that "its a really big state so it takes longer", which has no bearing on their ability to count votes.

The alternative is Florida, and given how 2018 Broward went...that doesn't seem a good difference.

Let the state take its time and get the results correct, rather than become another one of those states with irregularities and controversies.

That's not really the only alternative.. You don't need a full month to count the votes correctly.  Somehow Virginia managed to count pretty much 100% of the vote in a matter of hours, and I don't hear of any issues there.  Let the state take its time, sure..  California had a full day today and went from 54% to 58%.  There's a happy medium between rushing the count and this.

Virginia is largely Election Day only [which is partially why I sat out of 2013]. California has one of the longest early-voting periods, combined with lots of perma-absentee ballots [as yours truly has voted]. These things do make a difference, along with size.

Then thats part of the problem too.  We have an election day for a reason.  Unless you're disabled, go to the polls.  This country allows everyone to be so coddled.  No other nation needs to go through these ridiculous hoops to get people to vote.  And they still vote at much lower levels than other western nations.

"Right now, Smith is ahead of Jones by 13000 votes. This has come down 200000 since Election Day 3 weeks ago. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and government offices will be closed, but we'll be back on Monday as the nation and the world awaits outside California county election board offices with baited breath to see if this 13000 vote difference will be overcome. We should hopefully get a result before Christmas."

The problem with Iowa was their incompetence. They had no idea what they were going to do if things didn't work perfectly. Also there is a big difference between counting 175K votes to over 6 million votes.

Not really.  Presumably there is a proportional amount of people counting the votes.  The argument that California has more people so it should take longer makes no sense.  They also have more people to count.  The UK has a population almost double the size of CA, and they count every vote within 24 hours of the polls closing, and most much quicker than that.

It's really interesting to see the AA vote, one would expect the AA votes would go to Bernie since I assume his policies would most benefit people of colour since they're usually less well off financially.

Guess his only problem is that he didn't happen to be Obama's little helper back in the day.

Not the way I'd choose if I was an AA, but I understand I guess.

Biden gained a net 9 delegates from the state of TX. 111-102-10-5.

[Non Swing Voter]

It's still fairly crazy to me that Biden's net vote margin out of Virginia might be larger than Bernie's net vote margin out of California.

[Bidenworth2020]

Biden gained a net 9 delegates from the state of TX. 111-102-10-5.

This is interesting. I thought Biden would have a stronger delegate distribution, considering he won Texas by close to 100k and won most places besides the Rio Grande Valley, Austin, and Bejar narrowly.

Again, allowing more people to vote and making it easier to vote is more important that counting fast. As long as they inform the public of what their process is and provide daily updates, there is no issue.

Bernie's Medicare for all was already voted down in 2009 by Snowe, Collins, Lieberman and Specter. Student loan forgiveness already applies to Economic Hardships and permanent disability.  He cant change the Bankruptcy laws. Unless he has a unanimous vote, from Senate. In a filibuster less Senate: pragmatic ideas DC statehood and immigration reform are much more likely to pass with unanimous consent in Senate. Third Biden doesnt put on Publuc Enemy Concerts, along with Obama, he goes to Black Churches that Bernie doesnt go to
