    Tulsi!

    • K. Davis March 10, 2020 (10:32 pm)

      Seriously?   Good luck with that.

      • Also John March 11, 2020 (2:54 pm)

        That was my thought.

  • rob March 10, 2020 (9:25 pm)

     a little one side show trumps numbers

  • Native March 10, 2020 (9:47 pm)

    Thanks for sharing. Looks like Trump won thanks to all of Washington except the blue bubble

    • K. Davis March 10, 2020 (10:36 pm)

      Seriously?  Trump is losing to the combined D ticket tonight.  Would you care to make a small wager?  That “blue bubble” will deliver WA to Biden this fall handily.  As in Trump getting his ass kicked here.

        lmao joe biden can’t beat trump. he’s a doddering idiot who has no plans to fix anything. by some measure he’d be worse than trump because he’d convince neolib capitalists that “everything is fine and cool and we’re definitely not running migrant detention camps anymore and denying healthcare to the public no sir”.

        • K. Davis March 11, 2020 (9:46 am)

          See you in November my friend.  *smirk*  Btw – if you want to rant, I suggest proper grammar and punctuation to not so blatantly reveal your ignorance.  Just a suggestion.  

  • 22blades March 11, 2020 (5:06 am)

    Does anybody know the margin of error in the Secretary of State’s tally?

    • Peter March 11, 2020 (8:51 am)

      Zero. This is an actual vote count, not a sampling or an estimate. 

  • 22blades March 11, 2020 (6:56 am)

    If you hypothetically convert the non-running candidates that endorsed Biden, numbers swing… Biden 333,414 Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Yang 96,165 (Warren w/ 126,093 has not endorsed). 1:1 conversion total 429,579. Sanders 335,498. Not a usable number for delegates but a hypothetical indicator of general support.

    • Nate March 11, 2020 (8:45 am)

      That’s making a lot of assumptions…

  • JDLR March 11, 2020 (7:58 am)

    While I am glad we switched over to a Primary and that we vote by mail, but this is an example of what why it’s not perfect (people voting before the consolidation of the Moderates). Ranked Choice voting would be a fix, seeing that’s more-or-less the idea behind Caucuses. 

  • sgs March 11, 2020 (9:47 am)

    Glad I did not vote early.

  • anonyme March 12, 2020 (9:19 am)

    For those willing to vote for “anyone but Trump” – be careful what you wish for.  Biden may be marginally better than Trump, but he’s also a hypocritical idiot with a nasty edge.  Moderate has become synonymous with utterly useless.  I’d love to have a candidate that inspired some confidence and was deserving of support, but it appears unlikely to happen in my lifetime.

Sorry, comment time is over.
