<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">At a time when Democrats correctly attack Republicans for voter suppression, to see voters standing in long lines for hours in Michigan and around America is an outrage. Election officials must address these problems immediately, and if necessary, keep polling places open longer.</p>— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) <a href="https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/1237517018896584704?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 10, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Assuming this is what he’s referencing. There have been long lines in college towns. This is the first major election since same day registration became a thing in Michigan. Rollout of a new process and a concentration of people known for procrastination is not a great combination.

I'm at work and got clickbaited. He whined about the long lines while talking about how the Dems are the party fighting suppression. (made a implicit comparison only)

Mea culpa.

Edit: yeah that was the tweet. A few headlines shocking made it sound way worse. Serves me right for checking at work on my phone.

Yeah and it is all the right demos too...I think the projections the lady on Maher had are gonna be on the nose. Right now I even am confident the Senate will flip :eek:

That could change tomorrow ;)

The North Dakota DNC decided Fargo needed only one polling location. A city of 120,000.

Not the state legislature, not the national party, the state DNC

According to exit polls in Michigan, Bernie was near 80% under 30, nearly 60% 31-40, and only lost 50%-46% with 41-50 year olds.

So he actually won 50 and under roughly 60% to 35%.

Problem is he lost 50-64 year olds 68% to 24% and 65+ 73% to 21%.

Combined he lost the 50+ group around 69% to 24% and those two groups made up 52% of the electorate.

How does Bernie stay in if even something close to that happens?
 
Re: Democratic Challengers 2020 - 12: The End of the Beginning

Bernie is also really suffering in these states that went from caucus to primary. It makes sense, but still wow.
Caucuses are dumb

It doesn't look like that's going to happen. Ingham where MSU is, is already Bernie and still has a lot of votes to report.

Biggest surprise to me tonight is that it looks like Washtenaw, where Ann Arbor is located, is going to finish for Biden. If the Berkeley of the Midwest isn't going to Bernie, it might be time to hang it up.

He doesn't. He's lost ground across the board. This is how the nomination process works -- once a leader emerges it is supposed to snowball. Biden has got this and Sanders should bow out in the next few weeks. He has some loose ends to negotiate with Biden.
