(14,532 posts)some problems at the polls in CT. At least 1 school would not let people in to vote unless they had photo ID.
I have a friend that was supposed to do exit polling but was driven off by threats from Sanders supporters.

(14,532 posts)Ct does not have a voter ID law, but to get into a school you need a photo ID. The school security guards were not letting them in. I think they got it straightened out, but how many voters were turned away before that happened?

(15,951 posts)Pennsylvania and Connecticut
In contrast to Maryland, where nonwhites made up a majority of voters, they accounted for three in 10 in Pennsylvania and a quarter in Connecticut. And while Clinton took home more than six in 10 nonwhites in these states, she did less well than in Maryland among whites. Her margins among women were smaller as well.
That said, Clinton far surpassed Sanders, by 2-1, as the candidate most likely to beat Donald Trump in November. And has been the case throughout the campaign, she was buoyed by voters who wanted the next president generally to continue Barack Obamas policies. She won seven in 10 of their votes, and they outnumbered those who wanted more liberal policies, though more narrowly in Connecticut than elsewhere.
On a specific policy issue, majorities in Pennsylvania and Connecticut (as in Maryland) said they trusted Clinton more than Sanders to handle gun policy.
Sanders, for his part, did better than usual among voters younger than 45, taking in about two-thirds of their votes in each of these states. A challenge was that they accounted for just more than three in 10 voters in preliminary results, fewer than the four in 10 theyve been averaging, and Clinton easily won in the larger 45-plus age group.
Sanders also got some ground in these states by the fact that more than six in 10 Democratic voters thought Wall Street hurt the U.S. economy more than it helped it. He won these anti-Wall Street voters by about 10 points in Pennsylvania and by about 25 points in Connecticut.
