As of yesterday (Wednesday) night, Hillary Clinton still has a strong lead, with 54.9% of the vote, and Bernie Sanders tallies 44.1%. The counting still continues of late-arriving mail-in and provisional ballots. Updates are posted at the link above as counties report them. If you're interested in following this counting, visit the link daily for fresh numbers.

1. Thanks for the update. I don't miss the

extended wait for the final numbers at all.

[MineralMan]

3. It's unlikely that the percentages will change much at all.

So far, they've held steady as the counting continues. But, it's interesting to see the process, I think.

13. In all the years we lived there we never had

any upsets that I can recall in the big candidates or ones in our district. There were some that weren't called for a long time, though.

2. Out of all the wins Massachusetts and California were the sweetest.

[Bleacher Creature]

16. Ohio was pretty solid.

It was a swing state that the Sanders campaign was really talking up. It was also a big win considering all the "she can only win Southern states" garbage was flying about.

20. So many favorites, in order !!!

California
Massachusetts
New York
Ohio
Kentucky
Missouri

4. Hillary now has a plurality of +3,775,437 votes.

So much for the whining about Superdelegates.

5. Didn't you just post that you had "moved on to the general election"?...

6. Hillary is the presumptive nominee in that general election.

I'm supporting her. People are interested in the results from California. So, I'm helping them find those results as the counting continues.

This is about our candidate in the general election.

[PoliticAverse]

8. So "moving on to the general election" means continuing to post about the primaries. Ok then. n/t

9. The California primary isn't the GE.

Unless some things have changed and no one told me.

36. What are you complaining about?

MineralMan isn't campaigning or advocating for one or other candidate, just providing some status information and a link to the official source for that. It is hardly his fault that the information doesn't suit you.

33. Yesterday a Bernie supporter posted an OP complaining that no one was talking about the CA vote

count.

[BobbyDrake]

7. But 42 million ballots remain uncounted!!!11

Rigged! Oligarchy! Billionaires! Argle-bargle!!

[Scootaloo]

10. Awwwwh, does talking about wealth disparity give you a sad?

[Tarc]

11. According to the results of the primary, it isn't an issue of manor concern

[Scootaloo]

14. What an odd response

So Clinton is just discarding the issue?

[George II]

19. Perhaps you should check her campaign website to see if that's an issue for her?

[Scootaloo]

22. I'm asking Tarc

Call it an awareness test.

[George II]

23. I don't think Tarc is one of Clinton's campaign aides or established her issues of concern....

...you can get your question answered by checking the Clinton campaign website yourself.

[Scootaloo]

25. I dunno about Tarc yet, but I'm pretty sure you're failing the test.

[George II]

27. You're speaking in "vagueries", keep bringing up irrelevancies and asking people to address them?

[Scootaloo]

28. Okay, allow me to lay it out for you.

Tarc just declared that the primary proves that wealth disparity isn't really an issue.

So I want to know if he thinks Hillary has scrapped it as a concept.

Now, I know she hasn't. I don't know if i believe her, but I know she has stated she plans to address the issue.

So I'm trying to see if Tarc is remotely aware of the positions of hte candidate he professes support for, since he just stated something that doesn't actually mesh with those positions.

It requires a little thought, but it's not terribly complicated.

[George II]

30. Stopped after your first sentence - at no time did Tarc say "wealth disparity isn't really an issue"

Sorry, but no point in going any further in that post. Unfortunately you did not "lay it out for me".

[BobbyDrake]

12. I won't take wealth criticism from a movement operated off of Apple products.

That's one of the more ridiculous things I recall from the Occupy movement, all the Mac logos in their over-priced slave-labor glory, being haplessly tapped on by their psuedo-hippie owners.

Tend to the beam in your own eye first.

[Scootaloo]

18. Do you often rely on genetic fallacies to make your argument?

[George II]

21. How does "genetics" enter into this discussion?

[Scootaloo]

24. It's the name of a particular type of fallacy, George.

The genetic fallacy (also known as the fallacy of origins or fallacy of virtue) is a fallacy of irrelevance where a conclusion is suggested based solely on someone's or something's history, origin, or source rather than its current meaning or context.

"You're wrong because you use an iPhone!" is the core of BobbyDrake's argument, and it is a fine example of a genetic fallacy.

[George II]

26. You still don't explain the relevance, Scootaloo.

[Scootaloo]

29. I just did.

What part don't you understand?

[George II]

31. It's not a question of "understanding", it's a question of relevance.

[NCTraveler]

15. Every vote counts. nt.

[George II]

17. The magnitude of Clinton's victory wasn't expected to change much as the final votes are counted.

[Agnosticsherbet]

32. An interesting link to the "close Contests."

http://vote.sos.ca.gov/returns/close-contests/
Most of these are between second place holders. It looks like California will have more than one General Election contest where both candidates will be Democrats.

[MineralMan]

34. Yes, that's a strange effect of California's primary process

for state and local offices. It wasn't in place when I lived there. I moved to MN in 2004.

[Agnosticsherbet]

35. I started out opposed to the system, but am happy to say I was wrong.

It has worked out very well for California.
