No, the Polling Doesn’t Prove Bernie Sanders Won the Hispanic Vote in Nevada

[workinclasszero]

The actual election returns in Las Vegas’s Clark County hint at a different story. Analyzed neighborhood by neighborhood, they suggest that Mrs. Clinton might have won the Hispanic vote by a comfortable margin. She won about 60 percent of delegates in heavily Hispanic areas, a result that calls the finding of the polling into question.

1. I figured as much.

2. Yup just more disinformation from the Bernie camp

Like clockwork...

3. Except for this little pesky chart & these pesky facts.

And then there is this -

Just because she won Latino districts that does not mean that everyone that voted for her in those districts was Latino.

So it is unclear.

6. Did you even read your own link?

it goes into great detail why that graph is probably wrong, including a very large margin of error.

7. Yes I did, did you? It said that they do not count votes by ethnicity so it is impossible to know &

that just because a district that has a large latino population does not mean that everyone in that district that voted was a latino.

So the bottom line is it is impossible to know for sure.

8. So claims that either Bernie or Hillary definitely won the Hispanic vote are wrong?

sounds reasonable. But considering how well she did in Hispanic districts it is likely that she did extremely well with Hispanic voters which bodes well for her in future states like Texas.

4. Great article and analysis. So the claims of the Sanders people are based on 213 Hispanic voters

who were part of a sample of only 25 precincts. The pollsters chose precincts randomly, NOT voters.

A big K & R

5. +1, Sanders coalitions does NOT include Blacks, Hispanics, Women, Gays, PoC millennials, PoC poor...

... and cute puppies.

Who is left for him??
