Why aren't they calling RI?

[musicblind]

I'm not saying they should! I'm not trying to say anyone should jump the gun. But it looks like Sanders is going to take the state?

Pawtucket coming in for Bernie looks like a bellwether. Clinton may win Providence, but I don't think she would win by enough to off set the rest of the state?

This is not trolling for conspiracies or anti-Hillary or anti-Bernie remarks. Just wondering about the math and the state's outlook at this point.

[Agschmid]

1. Some smaller sites have.

[TM99]

2. If the exit polls favor Clinton, they call it.

If the exit polls favor Sanders, it is too close to call.

We have seen this time and time again this election season.

This is not reality. This is Kabuki theatre.

[southerncrone]

5. Funny how that works, huh?

[Godhumor]

8. There were no exit polls in RI

So, yes, they're waiting for Providence.

[PeaceNikki]

9. They don't have exit polls on RI, that's why they're not calling it.

Or it's a vast Clinton conspiracy.

But I'm going with Occam's Razor.

[firebrand80]

10. They didn't do exit polls in RI nt

[musicblind]

18. I don't think it is a conspiracy. I'm just wanting to know what the math is

and why the math is preventing them from calling it.

It was a genuine question.

[southerncrone]

32. Funny how that works, huh?

[seabeyond]

3. I thought the already called it for Sanders.

[Joob]

4. They waiting to flip the votes duh

[danimich1]

11. Exactly.

[seabeyond]

13. That is really nasty throwing that out when people have repeatedly given you the answer.

[RandySF]

6. Thwy might be waiting for Providence.

[musicblind]

14. That has to be it. Do you think there are enough votes there?

I am skeptical. I had really thought Hillary would win this one. Maybe she still will, but I was shocked that Pawtucket went for Sanders. That indicates to me that Providence will go to Hillary but not by the margins we thought?

[Adrahil]

19. My guess is no, but without exit polls, hard to tell. NT

[firebrand80]

7. No exit polls to work from nt

[lancer78]

12. Providence hasn't reported

And most of the counties Bernie has won are 100% in. They should call it soon.

[musicblind]

15. That really makes me anxious to see a few votes from Providence n/t

[MADem]

16. Probably waiting on Providence, E. Providence, and Warwick.

That's a pretty big chunk.

If he's ahead when those come in, they'll give it to him, I think.

[Skid Rogue]

17. They haven't got ANY results from the 2 largest cities.

I think Bernie's got it, though.

[oberliner]

20. Because they didn't do exit polls for Rhode Island

Unlike the other states.

[musicblind]

21. That seems so strange, because the polls showed RI would be very close.

Alas, I'm not a decision maker for news networks.

[Marrah_G]

22. Looks like RI and CT for Sanders?

I am in south RI on the CT border. Voting was heavier then usual here.

[oberliner]

24. RI for Sanders, CT for Hillary

That seems to be the consensus.

[TM99]

25. Not according the Green Papers.

Sanders is up 50 to 47.

[oberliner]

29. They are just reporting the current results

The areas that have yet to report lean heavily towards Hillary.

[musicblind]

23. Looks like they just called it!

Congratulations to Sen. Sanders.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

27. Yes good

[Hoyt]

26. Inconsequential tonight.

[nolawarlock]

31. Rhode Island usually is. nt

[oasis]

28. CNN'S Wolf Blitzer just called it for Bernie 2 minutes ago.

[nolawarlock]

30. Yeah, I mean ...

... we all know Rhode Island's the make or break this year.

[Demsrule86]

33. They called RI ages ago...Bernie won

His only win.

[ViseGrip]

34. they report on him later in the evening, fewer viewers, to deflate any win, all the time.

All they show is Trump.

[brooklynite]

35. Okay...that's a conspiracy theory I hadn't imagined...

...they called RI long before calling CT for Clinton.

And it'll be in the papers tomorrow morning.
