MSNBC is not reporting the NV results accurately

[squirecam]

Bernie will get nearly 50% of the delegates. But his vote share is nowhere near 50%. You wouldn’t know it by the talking heads. Here are the current results though.

1. Interesting.

Thanks for this.

[squirecam]

2. It's terrible coverage.

Bernie is having a great night. But he does not have half the vote. His vote share was 35% (in line with the pre-election polls). They should report it accurately.

3. CNN is reporting pretty identical results

I think it’s the convoluted way Nevada awards the delegates that accounts for the discrepancy

[squirecam]

4. It's the same three results Iowa reported

I just want it uniform.

5. Its a caucus, they go by state delegate equivalents officially

To determine the winner just like Iowa. The alignment numbers are to make the popular vote numbers public, they do not affect who officially wins or loses the caucus.

6. It matters

Bernie was angry when the media focused on Iowa delegates rather than the popular vote.

Now the media is focusing on Bernie having half the vote. But he does not. He has half the delegates.

[Bumperstickers]

8. And they kept showing the percentage

Of the state delegate equivalent on screen during Iowa Pete 26.1 Bernie 26., they are doing the same today. So it hurt Sanders that day and now it's helping him and making the others look really bad.

7. It's significant, though, that his support increased more than anyone else's in the final alignment.

9. It means his caucus ground game was effective.

Good pick up.

10. The final alignment is unreliable.

Someone could have voted for Pete in a certain precinct. If he wasn’t viable, then the voters second through fourth choices could also not have been viable. The voters fifth choice could have Been Bernie, abs so there was realignment to him.

It’s a data point, but you never know the real circumstances. The real results are the first vote, and the state delegates awarded.

11. Bernie got a bit over 1/3 of the vote

He will get 46% of the delegates. But he did not get half the vote.

Bernie Sanders 22,711 35.40%
D Joe Biden 12,866 20.00%
D Pete Buttigieg 9,163 14.30%
D Elizabeth Warren 7,741 12.10%
D Tom Steyer 5,753 9.00%
D Amy Klobuchar 4,863 7.60%

12. Weird 88% in, and this one has Sanders at 47% of the votes...

https://www.google.com/search?source=hp&ei=3jlTXozBA9WtytMPmdeDuAY&q=nevada+results&oq=nevada+r&gs_l=psy-ab.1.0.0i131l2j0i3l8.2303.4182..5554...0.0..0.234.752.8j0j1......0....1..gws-wiz.....6..0i362i308i154i357j0.coRcDd0BmA8

And he’ll likely get close to 60% of the delegates if pete only gets 2 or 3. Cause he has 2x as many as Joe so 66% vs 33%, i think.

13. Those are not VOTES.

Those are state delegates.

Do you really think Bernie only got 6000 votes statewide?

[jmg257]

14. It says "votes" Gosh So Confusing! Thanks!!!

[squirecam]

16. This is my point

Bernie got 1/3 of the vote. That’s still a big win over everyone else.

But it wasn’t half of the vote. He’s going to get half the delegates though.

The media, and people here, should report it accurately.

[jmg257]

17. Thanks again... i was figuring he'd get almost 2/3...now it makes sense

Looking at the equivalients.

Cheers!!!

15. Ah duh on my part - had to read the fine print!

Now it makes more sense!
