(50,254 posts)And at 46% in Cali, Bernie clearly improved his showing among at least some POC. You don't get almost half the vote in the Democratic presidential primary in the Golden State on young white guys alone.

(110,159 posts)implications and lies about this damn state. They called it correctly. Clinton won. Done. All the shit that was being ramped up to blame Dems of nefarious behavior was once again, a flat out fuckin lie.
Ken Burch
(50,254 posts)Your candidate is the nominee. You've got no good reason to attack Bernie any more. It doesn't make any difference whether the endorsement is before the convention or at the convention.

(58,785 posts)indies had no one to vote for on the Republican ticket, as usual these days, and many of them crossed the ballot. If only Democrats voted in California's Democratic Party primary, the results would be very different.
Nevertheless, the primary is semi-open--for indies, and Sanders did do very well. A finish only 7% down is a very respectable showing.

(50,254 posts)And this hows the result in CA wasn't a landslide humiliation for Bernie.
He made a respectable showing in the state.

(110,159 posts)No campaign "owns" the desire for ALL votes to be counted.
LiberalFighter
(50,942 posts)Not having the votes counted would had made the allocation of delegates a farce for both sides. For me as a geek, I am interested in having the correct data as it makes proper correlation to the past.
seabeyond
(110,159 posts)the remaining votes to a win, or anyone was stealing anything. We knew Calif took time. We also knew that Clinton had won California the night of.

(30,481 posts)They weren't not going to be counted.
Ken Burch
(50,254 posts)in some states, they didn't count all the absentee or challenged votes if it looked as though there weren't enough of them to affect the outcome.
And I did congratulate HRC on her win in California, let it be noted.

pnwmom
(108,980 posts)it takes so long is because they count all the provisional ballots, routinely, after checking to make sure the voter is registered, and they accept mailed in ballots till three days after the primary.
Millions of paper ballots take a long time to verify, count, and re-check.

(10,137 posts)All 6 registered parties had primaries for their presidential candidates. There were also open primaries for a number of other offices on the ballot.
In the race for who gets to lose to Nancy Pelosi in November the 2nd and 3rd finishers are only 50 votes apart (in CA, the top two finishers in the primary go on to the general election). I love all the trivia at that site!

Minimum of 7 points, but more likely double digits.

(11,949 posts)Why does the internet bring out the worst in us. Including me. I have had 2 post rightfully hidden due to an attack on a fellow DU member. I totally respect your vote and would have happily voted for Sanders had he won.
that is absolutely spectacular! bravo!

(5,443 posts)Just assumed her 400K margin would hold over the expected total vote, given 50/50 returns on voters voting on election day itself.
