CNN, NYT lagging for some reason.

[KingFlorez]

1. 38%

And there is quite a lot of uncommitted vote.

[DCBob]

2. Corrected.. thanks!

[RogerM]

3. In 2012 40% was uncommitted

In 2012 40% was uncommitted

So far Clinton leading 54-43
Candidate PercentageVotes Votes Behind
Hillary Clinton 55.0% 11,377--
Bernie Sanders 43.0% 8,909 -2,468

[Renew Deal]

31. Just read that 42% was uncommitted in 2012

Against Obama only

[auntpurl]

4. NYT has 52.5 Hillary 39 Bernie

Obviously it'll be a long night, but still - promising!

[RogerM]

5. Done not look good for Sanders

Benchmark Politics ?@benchmarkpol 2m2 minutes ago
Clinton is up 10 points in Fayette County with almost 50% reporting. Was expected to be a Sanders county.

[DCBob]

6. Wow.. that's a bad sign for Bernie.

Looks like a big night for Hillary.

[KingFlorez]

11. Fayette County is 13% Black

I would imagine that the electorate there has skewed plurality black this cycle.

[NurseJackie]

7. I'm not getting my hopes up. For now, I'll just view this as ...

... attributable to a "fluke" in the order that the individual precincts are returning their data. Just a bubble in the data that will pop as more counties report their totals.

Once burned, 15 times shy.

[RogerM]

8. Long night for Bernie

AP called for Clinton and retracted, probably after realizing not all polls were closed!

[DCBob]

10. Oh really.. interesting.. how did they do that without exit polling?

[RandySF]

16. Some polls close at 7 Eastern

[Renew Deal]

35. They're morons

[Kang Colby]

9. Oh, just more shenanigans from the oligarchy.

[Arneoker]

33. Yes, making Kentucky have confusing poll closing rules!

(With your sarcasm!)

[RogerM]

12. 58.7 to 39

Candidate PercentageVotes Votes Behind
Hillary Clinton 58.7% 18,529 --
Bernie Sanders 39.0% 12,335 -6,194

[DCBob]

15. Where are you getting those numbers?

[Kang Colby]

17. Perhaps the poster knows someone in the oligarchy.

I'd like to know as well.

[winter is coming]

13. Look again. Letcher and Perry county have flipped. n/t

[reddread]

14. gaining real fast

[B Calm]

18. Eastern KY is her strongest area, coal country.

[DCBob]

19. I would have thought its like WV which would be Bernie territory.

Right?

[B Calm]

20. No, it went BIG for Hillary when she ran against Obama.

[DCBob]

23. This isnt 2008.

[B Calm]

24. No shit! Hillary change too?

[RandySF]

25. Louisville has not counted yet

Obama was strongly disliked in SE so much so that he did worse than John Kerry. Hillary is also publicly anti coal. She SHOULD not do well there.

[RogerM]

21. 53-44 with 10% in

Benchmark Politics ?@benchmarkpol 2m 2 minutes ago
We struggle to think of a scenario where Clinton wins Fayette and loses Kentucky.

[DCBob]

26. Thanks.. seems CNN is lagging a bit.

[auntpurl]

27. NYT has 45.4 Hillary 47.3 Bernie at the moment

The results are going to flip flop for a while, I suspect.

[DCBob]

28. NYT is lagging also... Hillary is ahead by more than that.

[auntpurl]

29. Where is that from?

[RogerM]

[NCTraveler]

[RogerM]

[flor-de-jasmim]
