I'm calling a narrow Sanders win in terms of overall support, but Hillary will probably get the most delegates.

Look Around You posted:Wasn't it the Sanders campaign accusing the DNC of fraud? DNC initially contacted the Sanders campaign about the 90 precincts thing. No idea what's actually going on. Sanders camp also says internal numbers show a 2 delegate lead, but that's another story entirely... maybe? There are no actual fraud accusations fwiw.

Narcissus1916 posted:In Nevada the caucus chair can be a volunteer from the Clinton or Sanders camp. So a Precinct Captain can pull double duty as a Captain AND as a chair - but they can't "openly advocate" for their candidate. Great system. Really great. Based on our excellent & well-established system of corporate governance, presumably.

Javert (Precinct Chair): Now Precinct Delegate 24601, time is up and the vote is tied. You know what that means? Jean Valjean: Yes, it means I'm free. Javert: No. [flips a coin] Javert: Follow to the letter your itinerary, this badge of shame you wear until you die. It warns that you're a Hillary delegate. Jean Valjean: The vote was 54-54. My sister's child had school tomorrow and had to leave. You've dragged this out for hours... Javert: And you will be here until dawn unless you learn the meaning of the law!

Polling average underestimated Bernie's support by about 4 points relative to Hillary's based on the final tallies.

Northjayhawk posted:You can't award half a delegate. Someone has to win, how else do you break a tie other than a coin flip? Wow, people really will defend anything. Award a half delegate to each or just award it to undecided. Or keep recounting until one side wins. The whole "delegate" construct is an insane farce anyway. Ideally just get rid of the caucus system entirely.

Northjayhawk posted:Yes, there is. "Unaffiliated" is its own preference group. My caucus had literally zero unaffiliated voters, and thats not going to be uncommon, people who are willing to show up and endure an hour or more of bullshit probably have an opinion. Makes more sense than giving away extra votes by chance. It would be trivial to set up assignment rules that don't rely on that and it's endlessly amusing that people think the current way is in any way defensible.
