Who could have anticipated that six weeks ago? Let's see what happens in the next three weeks.

More generally, I’d go for any kind of reliable, easy and secure voting process. Some primaries have been suffering with hours-long lines too, thanks to rethug Secretaries of State.

...and a lot better than what the pundits were predicting. I figured he would be down around where Klobuchar is, but he ended up finishing a strong 3rd place in Nevada. I'm surprised he was able to get more votes than Warren in that state, given that it is one of the bluer states nowadays.

12. Maybe. But I'm black. I early voted at my precinct which was majority black and my 1st choice

Was Warren, 2nd Sanders 3rd Steyer and rest blank. And no one was exit polling at my location so I never understand how they determine who is voting for who. There are like only 2 or 3 precincts which are majority black in Vegas.

Supposedly it’s representative. Looked like Sanders was only a couple percent behind Biden in the black vote, from what they were showing yesterday.

Did the process seem like it was working smoothly enough at your precinct?
