CNN RESULTS OF A CAUCUS, FIRST ROUND

[Mike 03]

CNN is announcing results from one caucus meeting right now.

I'm really surprised: i thought we had to wait until six or seven PM

135 people voted in this particular caucus.

Biden 33
Pete 38
Klobuchar 48
Warren 12
Sanders 1
Yang (didn't catch)

Wolf Blitzer reading the percentages this works out to.

Yang, Warren, Sanders supporters now have to realign.

Turn it on!

EDIT: Sorry for the sloppiness of this post. I was typing on the fly. It was an answer to a question on another thread that turned into something interesting and worth posting by itself.

Location: Port Charlotte Florida

Also what were Yang's numbers?

EDIT: This is a "satellite caucus"

Here: This Tweet coherently explains what I couldn't catch:

1. Wow. This could be interesting.

[Mike 03]

7. No kidding!

I wonder if more of the caucuses will be so public. These are really fascinating.

[krissey]

8. I know so little about the process. But that I do not like caucuses. I am learning as this

progresses.

18. I Don't Like Caucuses Either ... I Read Up On the IA Caucus To Get Educated Though

After that education I dislike caucuses even more. Dems need to rethink the primary calendar in our next open POTUS primary. Starting with a caucus in a state that is 90% White and given such outsized influence on the race simply isn't fair to the base of the party. It can also skew a candidate's true strength.

30. Depends

Our Nevada caucuses results will be phoned in as they are tabulated to the satisfaction of all present. All voting is accompanied by signed paper ballots. The paper ballots delivered to the party headquarters the same day as soon as possible. Hence, the results of individual precincts can be known fairly quickly.

All math and tabulations are checked by each representative nominee person (I needed the help anyway, and it made for good feelings all around).

My caucuses explanation from another thread.

Since I am new, maybe someone could post this subject as it's own thread. I learned a lot in my training. Had trouble using the phone app Saturday trying to log on to that day's training. My good friend, also a volunteer, she gave up because it was so complicated.

35. I guess those are retired people who would lean more moderate. nt

[scheming daemons]

2. If true... good for my candidate

bad for the progressive ones, in that meeting anyway.

[Squinch]

3. Holy cow! I did not see that coming!

[Mike 03]

6. Me neither!

Totally surprised. I thought the caucuses were private (no cameras).

Wow is all I can say.

[Pololv]

33. Not at all

"Visitors" are allowed in each caucus location, they just can't participate or allowed to interfere. That includes cameras/TV, print and radio, as well as those that voted in early voting. They must stay in a separate area that is reserved for them as needed, space depending (last time our classroom location was very crowded with just the people allowed to vote).

[Squinch]

36. I do like Amy. Glad she's doing well.

[George II]

5. So much for the "surge", eh?

[Tiggeroshii]

11. These satellite early results arent going to mean much till the end

Sanders has so far won 2 caucuses that were also satellites. Those totaled about 25 people for him.

[Hortensis]

29. :) Here's a view of the Port Charlotte caucus:

Older citizens vote in higher numbers. Love to see these people determined to do their duty.

[R B Garr]

9. So much for the war on centrists!

[Mike 03]

10. Next phase:

3 people have chosen not to stay for the second alignment.

Location is something Charlotte.

CNN has a "counter" in the room.

One of the anchors said "Klobuchar picked up a few more" but I'm not sure if she was referring to the results of the second alignment or just generally talking about how well she did on the first round.

Sorry, I've lost the plot. Unsure if the second alignment occurred or is ongoing.

[Mike 03]

12. CNN will next go to a caucus in St. Petersburg Iowa.

[ChubbyStar]

16. Port Charlotte Florida

[Mike 03]

21. Thank you!

[Thekaspervote]

13. Hand stands!!

[DURHAM D]

14. So CNN is showing satellite caucus results from Port Charlotte, Florida

I don't understand.

btw - Amy is way in the lead. Bernie has no votes.

Florida doesn't vote until March and it is a primary (not caucus) state.

Update: This is a satellite caucus for Iowans living (wintering) in Florida.

[highplainsdem]

20. Thanks! I was seeing tweets about those results and wondering why Fl kept getting

mentioned.

[DURHAM D]

31. I see that they are also having satellite caucus in

Arizona.

My first thought when I figured out what was going on in Florida was "Why not in Arizona ?"

I am from the lower mid-west and people stopped wintering in Florida in the 90s and started going to Arizona. One of the reasons was that it was way more interesting because of the number of snowbirds from Canada.

Another winter destination is The Rio Grande Valley - Texas. Wonder if they are having a caucus there.

[squirecam]

15. I don't think

this early reporting means anything.

[Thekaspervote]

22. Probably not.. it would be great thou if Klobuchar, Warren or Biden won or at least came up even

[squirecam]

24. If Amy is viable state wide

Then Sanders is going to win tonight.

I expect Amy will not be viable state wide, and her voters mostly go to Biden.

[Mike 03]

23. I guess not

Sorry, I got carried away. It's pretty fascinating to me.

[LongtimeAZDem]

17. I'll wait to the end

[Indykatie]

25. Don't You Hate How the Media Will Report Every Single Result Like BREAKING NEWS?

[LongtimeAZDem]

26. I'm an old fart; I've learned to tune it out.

[nini]

19. I'm sure as more coming in things will change

Overall I hate the caucus system. Too many people don't like to stand up to pressure.

[Mike Nelson]

27. Wow...

... I'd love an Amy/Pete ticket!

[W_HAMILTON]

28. Do the results of these "satellite" caucuses just get added into their main caucus when it meets?

[Baclava]

34. There are 99 satellite caucus sites, all their votes after secondary round get added in I believe

[Baclava]

32. Paris satellite caucus, Warren 41%, Sanders, 29, Amy, 17, Pete, 11, Biden 0

Over 1700 caucus sites, gonna be crazy

[squirecam]

37. Biden

needed to spend more time in Paris apparently.

[Baclava]

38. Its gonna be up and down everywhere, gonna be a wild ride tonight lol

[marlakay]

39. I heard that the satellite caucus

Doesn’t count as much as a regular one. The whole thing seems odd to me.
