In the past couple days (in MI) I've gotten like 4 robo- and campaign worker calls from Bernie and 2 or 3 from Cruz. Nothing really from anyone else (though a couple pollsters once in a while)

The polls were deserted earlier today. In and out in less than 5 minutes.
 
Mom and dad voted today.

Dad voting for Trump (he always votes R, but genuinely shocked he isn't a Kasich fan), Mom voting I think for Bernie (almost always votes D, hates Hillary but hates Trump more).

New York has 15% black population, it'd be remarkable if Bernie won that state. So far Bernie has lost every single state with 10%+ black population.

It's really incredible that the black populace is only 13% of the US population yet they are having such a dramatic impact on this year's Democratic race. Hillary basically single-handedly won off of her black support. A black voter has much more political influence in this race than a white voter. Really interesting how much power black voters have in this country now.

Besides the whole race-baiting aspect of this post, it's also not correct. If Bernie were winning white voters by the same margin that Hillary wins African-American voters, he would be doing a lot better.

Hillary is winning minority votes by very large margins while also keeping enough of the white vote to keep Bernie's wins close. Bernie's coalition just isn't that big.

In addition, those Southern states are already weighted less in delegate counts.
 
As an Ohioan, may I just tell all Michiganders that... : gag : I'm....I support you today in : gag : making sure you nominate our queen. Please. Please don't mess this up Michigan.

Go Blue! : ugh : Go Sparty.

Be happy we only use 3/5th of our power at any given time
 
Hold it together just two more weeks, Trump, you fascistic bastard.

Find a way not to fuck it up at the debate this week, either. Maybe attack Ted Cruz's lyin' ass some more.

I want the House to turn blue, damn it.

What the...this isn't even mentioning her domination of the Latino vote. And I don't see how it's interesting at all that minorities have a huge influence on the democratic ticket

Whenever I see the Queen posts it seems like a deliberate attempted to annoy and joke around. Like a young sibling that won't stop poking.

Whenever I see the Bernie supporters post about the Hillary bias in every from of media (other than TYT of course), it comes off as misguided, tin-foil-hat nonsense. Like a crazy uncle that won't stop posting about chem-trails.

Big difference IMO.

You don't think that the media that has spoke for the past 5 years as if Hillary will be the next president isn't a bit biased for her?

It's not really a conspiracy. Media companies are going to be in favor of her simply because she represents their best interests. Bernie is more likely than Hillary to try to change the media-government relationship, so of course they would avoid endorsing him.

In Mississippi, almost 6 in 10 Democratic voters were black, about one-third were white. In Michigan, about 1 in 5 were black, 7 in 10 were white.

• Voters in both states broadly see race relations as having worsened over the last few years, a narrow majority say so, while just about 1 in 6 in each state say there’s been improvement.

• The economy is far and away the top issue in both states (4 in 10 call it most important), but Mississippi voters expressed deeper worries about the economy’s future. Nearly half there say they are very worried about the future of the economy, vs. about a third in Michigan. But Michigan Democrats were more apt to see the economy as favoring the wealthy, about 9 in 10 said so vs. 8 in 10 in Mississippi.

• Looking at the impact of international trade, just over 4 in 10 in Mississippi said U.S. trade with other countries took jobs away from the U.S., a majority in Michigan say the same.

• Only 1 in 7 Democratic voters in each state say they’re angry with the way the federal government is working, but more in Mississippi say they hope the next president will continue Obama’s policies: 7 in 10 there vs. about half in Michigan.

• On water, more than 8 in 10 Democratic voters in Michigan said stricter regulations were needed to protect the public water supply, just 1 in 10 thought existing regulations were enough.

• About 9 out of every 10 Democratic primary voters in Mississippi said they had voted in a Democratic primary before.

• The economy is the top issue for Republican voters in Michigan, though voters there are less worried about the economy than they are in Mississippi. Eight in 10 in today’s Southern primary said they were very worried about the economy, compared with about two-thirds in Michigan. Majorities in both states say trade with other countries takes jobs away from the U.S.

• The states split in their views on immigration. In Mississippi, a majority say that immigrants working in the U.S. illegally ought to be deported back to their home countries, while most Michigan GOP voters said they should be offered a chance to apply for legal status. Three-quarters in Mississippi back a temporary ban on Muslims entering the U.S., a figure that dips to just over 6 in 10 in Michigan.

• About three-quarters of voters in Mississippi were white evangelicals, and nearly 8 in 10 said it was at least somewhat important that a candidate shares their religious beliefs. Michigan, on the other hand, has a more secular GOP electorate: about half were white evangelicals, and just a narrow majority call shared religious beliefs important.

• Mississippi voters were more apt to say they wanted a candidate from outside the establishment, 6 in 10 there vs. about half in Michigan. Nearly half in Mississippi say they are angry with the way the federal government is working, compared with about a third in Michigan. Michigan voters broadly report feeling betrayed by the GOP though.

Results in the Mississippi exit poll are based on interviews with 595 Democratic primary voters and 805 Republican primary voters. In Michigan, the results are based on interviews with 1,077 Democratic voters and 872 Republican voters. The margin of sampling error for both Mississippi surveys and the Michigan Republican survey is plus or minus 5 percentage points, it is 4 points for the survey of Michigan Democrats. It is larger for subgroups.

Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia are certainly delegate rich states.

The state with the highest delegate count Bernie has won is Minnesota with 77. The above 5 southern states all have more delegates than that.
 
Voted at around 11:30, going by the counter on the vote scanner I was only number 82 after four and a half hours... Going to assume people waited until after work small town with a total population somewhere a bit over 1,000 though so it's not as if there's a ton of voters here anyway.

They're delegate rich, but they're still punished based on demographics and population. Michigan and Georgia are worth 15 electoral votes, yet Michigan is worth more delegates than Georgia. Red states are given fewer delegates than a comparably populated blue state.
