If I were to vote in a presidential

Sanders was declared the winner with 4% reporting. Kaleva Feb 2020 #6

So how did that happen? 2naSalit Feb 2020 #12

Exit polling. Kaleva Feb 2020 #18

Exit polling works for everyone around the world except Rs in the USA DonaldsRump Feb 2020 #35

They're still going to count all the votes. Bucky Feb 2020 #19

I trust the process 2naSalit Feb 2020 #25

The media called it, as they often do. mysteryowl Feb 2020 #23

Wasn't Sanders the one all upset when Buttigieg "prematurely" declared victory? dawg day Feb 2020 #31

I din't like this methodology at all... nt 2naSalit Feb 2020 #34

MSNBC made their announcement based on only a few percent of the vote plus entrance polling. highplainsdem Feb 2020 #5

It was decided before 4% were reported. jmg257 Feb 2020 #7

What's wrong with this picture? 2naSalit Feb 2020 #9

No one else was doing nearly as well? jmg257 Feb 2020 #10

At 4% of precincts? 2naSalit Feb 2020 #14

With the polling, the results being so one-sided, there wasn't other possibilities. jmg257 Feb 2020 #17

I call that a small sample size 2naSalit Feb 2020 #20

Ha sorry if it makes you feel even worse, but Fox called it at 1%! jmg257 Feb 2020 #21

I'm going to wait to see who Bloomberg calls it for Bucky Feb 2020 #29

It was called for Sanders (by some news organizations) with only 4% reporting. Laelth Feb 2020 #15

The counting has been weird Renew Deal Feb 2020 #27

Instincts tell me 2naSalit Feb 2020 #32

So Sanders and Biden may be the only ones to get delegates. Nanjeanne Feb 2020 #3

Pete might squeak in. Kaleva Feb 2020 #8

that's the big, big question, as Pete hitting 15% takes away delegates from Bernie nt Celerity Feb 2020 #24

How will the delegates be divided say if it's only Sanders and Biden over 15% Moderateguy Feb 2020 #11

I have no idea how that works. Kaleva Feb 2020 #16

It's probably not hard to Google it though Bucky Feb 2020 #22

And boom Bucky Feb 2020 #26

here Celerity Feb 2020 #30

Thanks Bucky Feb 2020 #33

yw and lolol Celerity Feb 2020 #36

23% reporting, according to MSNBC. Sanders 46%, Biden 24% highplainsdem Feb 2020 #28

If that sticks, does that make it like 24 & 12 delegates for Bernie & Biden? jmg257 Feb 2020 #37

I have no idea. highplainsdem Feb 2020 #38

From the ratio of 46% to 24%, no one else above 15%...36 total, so something like that. jmg257 Feb 2020 #39

Here's what the Guardian is reporting at 22% Kaleva Feb 2020 #40
