Old people use Facebook. Young people use snapchat. Get your story straight!

It's a little dumb to compare a 12 year generation of people to 35.

Are you talking about over 65s or under 30s?

Will absenttee ballots get counted first? This might be one of those..Winner projection as soon as polls close.
So this is a winner-take-most day for the Democrats. In all three states, two-thirds of the delegates are divided between Congressional districts and awarded proportionately. The remaining third in each state is awarded to the popular vote winner.
Arizona has 75 delegates, meaning the popular vote winner gets 25 off the top. Idaho has 23 (8 to the winner), and Utah has 33 (11 to the winner).
I'm honestly expecting this to be another net Hillary day in terms of delegates.

No exit polls so no projections when polls close. I think it'll be another Ohio where all the absentee/early votes get counted first and Clinton is at 80%, then when the rest of the votes come in it'll shrink down to 60%.

Everyone gets to continue to add to their own narrative:
Sanders: I won more states!
Clinton: I won more delegates.
I'm not sure the purpose is comparison here. Neo's just trying to read tea leaves to determine who's likely to win in Arizona.
Truly the most entertaining PoliGAF member.

Didn't know they did WTM on the Dem side. It's kind of amusing there are more statewide AZ delegates that could all go to Clinton than there are total delegates in Idaho.

that sounds about right. I'm guessing Tucson might come in for Sanders..but that might be it.

Um...I don't think statewide delegates are WTA either?
That's not much of a revolution.

Tonight's probably not changing anything for any of the candidates, honestly.
According to the Atlantic, they are.

As long as you never happen to be a clerk in a store where he's bought something I agree. He makes the best threads though <3

The only room for a change is if Cruz somehow fell below 50% in Utah.
That would be hilarious.

Good for them, but they're wrong unless there was some recent rules change.

I think it'll be the shits. "How will any potential future terrorist attacks effect the election? Whose poll numbers will rise as a result?"
The absolute vomit. I'll turn it on to see the coverage but if it gets too much I'm turning it off.
I'm looking forward to going to bed early thoThe only bad thing about the Democratic Primary season being all but decided is that these nights aren't as exciting anymore
Totes worth it though.

Unless Trump and his crew up and shoot someone at a rally sometime soon, I expect the unfortunate shit going down out in Belgium to wholesale push everything aside unless it's directly relating to more reaction on TERROR from candidates.

There's going to be a chat? Yaaasssss
He made the original thread that was supposed to last until April, but it was choking from salt and got locked.

I've mentioned it before and I'm guessing this is part jest but can you all please knock it off with this nonsense.
This isn't a little clubhouse where you get to go write about people in your burn book.
I'm actually down south in Texas, so central for me. Thanks for the info.
So I might hear about Idaho before bed and an AZ is a giant maybe but seems unlikely.

Wait, Americans are 44/46 on legalizing prostitution?!?
https://today.yougov.com/news/2015/09/01/country-split-legalizing-prostitution/
This is really good news, how has no candidate run on this? Free media attention+no voter backlash+actually good for a lot of people. I had no idea Americans were this accepting of sex work.
