Bernie has officially overtaken Hillary in Berkeley and Oakland

[J_J_]

According to the Green Papers Bernie has just barely overtaken Hillary in California's 13th congressional district, which includes the cities of Berkeley and Oakland primary. Also this is a very strongly democratic district. In the 2014 elections, it went democratic by a 89-11% margin.

1. And that gets him what for the whole state when compared to Hillary?

Most thought he would have had a cakewalk in those two areas as they are the most liberal of the state. The bigger question is how Hillary made those two areas competitive.

[eastwestdem]

2. Exactly. The real news is how well Hillary did in this and similar areas of the state.

She has a much wider appeal that many people thought.

[MineralMan]

3. And yet, the statewide percentages remain

almost exactly the same: Hillary has 54.8% and Bernie has 44.3%. As of 11:01 AM PDT today:

5. THIS ^^^^

Bottom line, is as you rightfully said, and it's that Hillary scored a very comfortable win of California.

Time to move onto the GE for Hillary and supporters et al.

7. It's very affluent now. nt

27. You're right. The Office of the S of S of Cali should not be editorializing that way.

6. Who the hell cares?

The primaries are over.

[zappaman]

8. who?

[Nye Bevan]

9. I would have thought that Berkeley would be like 85-15 for Bernie.

There must be more to Berkeley than earnest hipsters.

[Sheepshank]

11. Not once did I assume that Bernie woulnd't win some districts/counties. Not once.

The big question is, was my assumption wrong that Hillary would win overall in CA? I don't think so.

[SharonClark]

12. What's the point?

[k8conant]

13. Accurate vote counting.

[geek tragedy]

14. isn't that where Altamont Speedway is? nt

[brooklynite]

15. Psst...you know that we don't count Counties...

...unless you're the Count counting...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. Still 11% behind (with rounding)

17. thanks. Duly noted.

18. Don't know how this changes anything.

The delegate count for District 13 is still Clinton: 4 and Sanders: 4.

For delegate allocation to change with Sanders receiving 5 and Clinton 3 it would require Sanders to receive over 19,900 more votes without Clinton receiving any more votes.

22. She's still beating him in both counties:

SF: 53.8% - 45.7%

Alameda: 51.81% - 47.31%

24. Just like in congressional elections the results for Democratic primaries in most states

are based on the congressional district. Not the county.

21. That's gentrification for you. nt

[beachbum bob]

26. no significant change in vote percentage and not sure why any of this stuff makes sense to post

no...the game has been long over...sanders wasted 10's millions in california and almost a month of campaigning to lose the primary by a huge margin

[mhatrw]

28. There are still 1.2 million unprocessed ballots with 4.5 million total Clinton/Sanders votes

"counted".

[ucrdem]

31. Glory be

29. Thus far, three counties in California have flipped to Bernie,
