HRC supporters (left); Bernie supporters (right). Nebraska District 9.

[Fawke Em]

Personally, I think the Bernie supporters should be on the LEFT, but I'll take those numbers any day.

1. Wait this is for real?

[Fawke Em]

Big "Bernie, Bernie!" chant went through the crowd at #NECaucus #District9!

This is from behind the Bernie side. The Hillary side is in the distance:

6. A thing of beauty! Thank you, made my day.

[Betty Karlson]

21. Thanks for that picture: it lifted my spirits more than 1000 words. eom

2. Kickin'

4. yeaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

5. Is this caucus held outdoors??

[Fawke Em]

7. Apparently so.

Or maybe it was just too big to hold it inside where ever it was supposed to be, so they had to move outside. Looks sunny, but cold.

On Edit: The district is in Omaha.

8. And the results are HRC wins. It's obviously and optical delusion isn't it.

I think the math is

Bernie numbers = Bernie numbers / 2

Clinton numbers = Bernie numbers + Clinton numbers

[A Simple Game]

18. That's what I was thinking, how much will Hillary win this district by. n/t

The more people that come, the more people it seems #FeelTheBern here in district 9 for the #NECaucus.

[Warren Stupidity]

10. Here's to hope!

Hoping we are really not so stupid and scared that we vote for the corrupt centrist to run against Benito Drumpf.

[Fawke Em]

12. It really is a "war on stupidity," isn't it?

District 9 ran out of preference cards. Waiting for copies to be made. A good problem to have! #NEcaucus

Andrew Seaman ?@amseaman 9m9 minutes ago
District 9 has so many people we had to go out to the schoolyard. Naturally, Bernie supporters have the playground.

[malthaussen]

20. Which raises a question for me.

That first tweet. I've read a lot of horror stories this season about districts running out of ballots, and the ensuing confusion.

At the same time, I've read a lot of stories about how Dem turnout is light.

You can perhaps see where I'm going with this: how hard is it to print up enough ballots? Why so many instances where there haven't been enough, especially when unexpected volume is not to blame? Peter Principle in action, I guess, but if so, the bar must be terribly low.

28. Call it "New Dem Syndrome"

Or

"Blue Dog Syndrome".

[Kenjie]

11. Thanks for the update

I hope this result holds and is replicated across the nation.

[Babel_17]

13. But if you were facing them ...

16. +1 n.t

15. One last post - have to go get my son from SAT testing...

molly ?@feisht613 30m30 minutes ago

district 9 caucus has been extended to 11am due to amount of people! insane amount of @BernieSanders supporters, at least 20:1 #NECaucus

[FailureToCommunicate]

24. TWENTY times more Bernie supporters/voters? So, no news coverage then.

[SoapBox]

17. And...it's a beautiful looking day!

Go Bernie!

Go Berners!

[Duval]

19. This made me smile and warms my heart.

Yayyy!! Love this!!

22. On Reddit

They have a thread with people at the NE caucuses posting caucus results. Bernie is ahead so far. They are also saying they are being flooded with absentee ballots in favor of Clinton.

[NJCher]

23. that is so fishy

flooding of abentee ballots.

25. How would absentee votes work in a live caucus system? Typically they would only be

counted afterwards, unless the results were closer, in a 'regular' voting state primary, no?

[xloadiex]

27. I'm not sure.

It seems like they are being counted at each caucus location. Here's an example

These are LD 13 results
In Room:
237 Clinton 281 Sanders
Absentee 275 Clinton 39 Sanders
Overall 512 C 310 S

[aspirant]

31. How do you verify Abstenee votes

[xloadiex]

32. I'm not sure.

I just read you do have to show ID to caucus. I just read there are NO absentee ballots allowed in the Kansas caucus.

[BuelahWitch]

36. If you're the DNC

You count the ones going to Hillary x2, and throw Sanders' in the trash.

[BuelahWitch]

35. I don't see how that is possible

The idea with a caucus is that your "carcass" has to show up. Why the hell would they allow absentee ballots? Either someone reporting is full of shit, or the DNC has gone full on bonkers.

On edit, guess that's the only way they can assure votes for The Queen: http://www.omaha.com/news/politics/democrats-can-vote-in-nebraska-caucuses-via-absentee-ballot/article_f593d4f5-d0ac-5798-846e-af4b7c5ac0eb.html

26. Nice.

Thanks for posting. It is discouraging how many in the media accept that he doesn't stand a chance.

[CdnExtraNational]

33. That's what they want you to believe. nt

[ConsiderThis_2016]

29. The transcripsts would be nice see...

But I'll settle for this right now. TY

30. Go, Bernie GO!!
