2. Nevada was a caucus Shaun

3. Nevada was a caucus, whereas South Carolina is a primary.

In Nevada, forecasters had to deal with redistributing votes from candidates who did not meet threshold. Also, a lot of Nevada votes were cast early, not day of.

So, it makes sense that Nevada was harder to forecast, and took longer.

5. Guess he has to blame his whining on something. n/t

6. That's the kind of stupid argument you usually see from rightwingers

who don't understand how forecasting works. King being that idiotic and ignorant is one thing but so many of BS supporters in that thread falling for that is scary. The conspiracy theories are already starting.

7. King, Nina and Jeff Weaver need to cash their checks while there's still

cash in Bernie's account. Don't buy any new cars or appliances gang.

8. Whining about early calls is one of my pet peeves.

A quick search of "Biden results" on Facebook will reveal lots of comments like, "Oh, so they're calling it for Biden with no results in. The DNC fix is in."

Because the DNC coordinates with ALL the networks, apparently Fox has fucking called it at this point.

People who say things like that reveal a fundamental ignorance about most things politics. As a liberal, it is important to me that liberals not look stupid and uninformed. I had a sense Biden would win big tonight, signifying an early call, and I dreaded the inevitable comments about it.

10. Agreed.

Early calls means the exit polling shows the result will be overwhelming.
