The SDEs are a virtual tie, the count isn't complete, and now with the recount we may not know for weeks. All the irregularities, along with the fact that for some reason the working class latino districts that Bernie won heavily weren't tallied until the very end, means that we won't have a reliable SDE number anytime soon.

But the SDEs are a technicality anyway, what matters is votes, and Bernie clearly got the most of those.

Congrats Bernie for winning the first contest, its a shame that the debacle denied him the Monday night victory speech and media coverage that he deserved.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
