Well, at the NY Times site, with both sides having about 23% of the vote counted, Trump has 60,955 (out of 94,255 cast) and Hillary has 333,633 (out of 546,197).
So I’d say the Dems are having a good time. Would note that NYC is well along with their count so upstate NY could make for some changes. We shall see.
ETA: Now 32% counted and Hillary has 400,000 votes, about 60%.
Green papers is tracking the districts - all but 2 have Trump over 50% (which triggers WTA of the 3 delegates) and over 40% in the other 2.This could be almost a sweep.
Seriously, I’m pretty sick of hearing about the goddamn Overton Window. Can we get a surveyor to officially declare it’s been moved so we can all get on with our lives?
There are some areas yet to report that should go Sanders comfortably. Likely it will stay Clinton double digits (and really Sanders needed double digits the other way) but upper or lower teens is still unclear.
The New York Times site has a little “show estimated remaining votes” button which gives an idea of what’s still outstanding. A lot of NYC votes still to come in and those are heavily favoring Clinton. She’ll come in close to +20 and I wouldn’t be surprised if she even did slightly better.
Good catch. I know what I meant to say (Sanders could be running as an independent instead of whining about losing as a Democrat) but put it in a terribly inaccurate way since there’s obviously no “independent primary”.
Looks like Kasich may pick up a few delegates in Syracuse and the north, west and south surrounding areas - but not east of Syracuse. Any ideas why Kasich is popular in that particular section of NY?
Clinton’s currently up by 17% - does this count as a “good” win for her or under performing in her home state?
Delegate math aside, and viewing New York purely as a standalone should she be satisfied with today’s result?
Naturally - with Bernie needing to get around 60% of the remaining delegates in every state - this is rather devastating for him…
Is there any update on what proportion of the remaining delegates he needs to overtake Hillary after today’s result?
She should be worried that except for 3 cities Sanders is beating her by a lot.
NYC: All Clinton
Rochester: Clinton only 51% to 49%
Syracuse: Clinton 54% to 46%
For anyone curious, Cruz lost the Bronx district, District 15, that he decided to visit.
The district had about 300 votes in the 2012 Republican primary. Cruz was hoping his visit would encourage at least some voters to swing his way so that he could get some delegates. He had a chance to win three delegates with only a few hundred votes.
He lost, but as of now he has 25% of all the votes in District 15, which is his highest percentage out of any other district.
