Alpha- thank you!
Alpha, you are the man (or person), you do such great work! Thank you so much for setting up this thread and posting updates.
I am at work (Washington state) and it is driving me crazy (good and bad) to see what is happening.
LieparDestin/BNR will be
LieparDestin/BNR will be putting up a liveblog around 4PM Dallas, TX time, too. I will be watching both. Please stupid Dumbshine State : do it for the Bernster--something right FOR ONCE!!

I voted for Bernie Down here in Floriduh..
My wife tried but for some reason they had her listed as No Affiliation so she wasn't able to.
Florida has some Lame ass rules. If you are undeclared you should be able to do so right up until you vote...

I are a Floridiot too
But I am smarter than the average Floridiot and voted for our man Bernie!

I hate closed primaries
Hate, hate, hate.
3 Bernie votes from my house though. I think my mom is a Bernie vote too, though not sure.

Closed Primary
This state has closed primaries. It's lame and old fashioned. But, you have to be registered either Repuke or Democrat. You can then vote for only the candidates who represent your party. If you don't like your choices, you have to leave it blank. If you try to write in, it invalidates your ballot. In November, you can vote for whoever you want. It's bullshit and needs to be changed, but it's the rule down here in the Dumbassed State.

We have closed primaries in NY too
And your wife not being able to vote today made me nervous. Just checked: Active Status, Party Affiliation: Democratic. Can't wait!

I'm hoping for 3 Bernie wins
regardless, this goes on until the convention and then beyond it, no matter what the outcome.
Exit polls in the afternoon aren't necessarily accurate so whatever we see should be taken as an indicator more than a result.
Thanks for running this and giving us a place to chat today and tonight.
3 wins- please (fingers crossed)
Okay, I rarely beg but in this instance I will beg with all my might. LETS GO BERNIE! (yes I am yelling-sorry everyone)
nail biting time
i want it all. ALL I TELL ALL!!! nothing for Clinton.
oops.

Man, now that would be the bestest ever!
I am all Varuca Salt when it comes to votes for Bernie.
"I used to vote Republican & Democrat, I also used to shit my pants. Eventually I got smart enough to stop doing both things." -Me
Regardless
of any outcome, I want Bernie to campaign until all 50 states have voted.
Do I hear the sound of guillotines being constructed?
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." ~ President John F. Kennedy
Yeah, campaign in all 50 states
(plus, the other candidate might be assassinated/indicted/etc)
That was my first thought.

I am feeling that Sanders is got a REALLY strong chance to win
a Trifecta tonight.
I am pulling for 3 but I would like to see him Upset Florida.
My polling location was light but I know that at least 3 people there were voting for sanders based on bumper stickers I saw in the mostly empty parking lot.
Both of my Neighbors that I have talked to about it (Black couple on one side and Cuban behind me) are pulling for Sanders today as well. I don't speak Spanish well, and he doesn't speak English but we sometimes "communicate" over the fence when I am passing him mango's and he passes me limes, he saw me yesterday in my Bernie 2016 shirt walking the dog and shouted "BERNIE!!!!" with his thumbs up.
Was a cool moment...

No coconuts?

No, I actually was just bemoaning that myself, lol!
None of my neighbors have Coconuts for some reason.
Fortunately my buddy owns a landscaping business so I can get bushels of them for free out of his trailer whenever I want. (He cuts tons off every day it seems.)
I use them for Mojito's, grow my own mint but still no lime tree. (My Lemon is cranking them out though as is my Mango.)

So soon?
I don't really watch TV. Please keep me updated. When do they start counting?
“When there's no fight over programme, the election becomes a casting exercise. Trump's win is the unstoppable consequence of this situation.” - Jean-Luc Melanchon
Only watch sports and politics (sometimes cartoons)
I will be glued to the set, but much rather get updates and results here. Watching Michigan results last week on TV took several years off my life.
The first exit polls should be coming within the next 20 minutes
But the first polls don't close until 7PM EST I believe. (Florida is open from 7AM till 7PM)
"I used to vote Republican & Democrat, I also used to shit my pants. Eventually I got smart enough to stop doing both things." -Me
So nervous
This waiting is almost as nerve wrecking as waiting for the birth of my three sons (please do not tell my wife I wrote this).
This is a pivotal moment in this election and history; we need to do well to convince the rest of the world that the impossible is possible.
Agreed, while this is not a do or die battle
It is one that could help shape the tone of the "War" against the Oligarchy.

Floridumb and North Carolina close in about 10 minutes EDT. However, and this is FEDERAL LAW: everyone in line at the polls gets to vote. Doesn't matter if the line is a mile long, they get to vote. Even in this crooked, dumbassed state!! BERN**BABY**BERN!!

we watch one movie a night
and my husband will watch conventional news. i don't.
i do admit to having watched all seven seasons (again) of The West Wing on Netflix, and am working my way through Frasier.
Okay. And I might watch The Good Wife.

And I do love me some Adult Swim and Golan the Insatiable...

Forgot to add, I LOVED West Wing.
I frequently used to bemoan that we needed a President Bartlett. (I got turned onto the show from a clip from one episode on an Atheist website that I go to and I was HOOKED.)
I think Bernie is the Closest I have ever seen to a Bartlett. I think he REALLY does only have the best intentions for all of us and that is something I have never truly felt about any candidate for any office before.
"I used to vote Republican & Democrat, I also used to shit my pants. Eventually I got smart enough to stop doing both things." -Me
omg
one of my favorite shows of all time and totally agree about needing a President Bartlett and a team of people around him believing governing from a moral imperative.
Bernie is very much like Bartlett in spirit.
btw, Bernie's creative team is genius.

Nice! Can you throw the link up for us when it does?
I hope we will have others joining us that may miss this post if the thread gets as busy as it did last time.
If it does, you know Bernie is winning.

It may not be up yet though. I will post it if I can find it.

Illinois voting is super high. It might break records.
The highest year ever was 2008. This year, in Cook County, the early voting totals are 37% than the record set that year.
When I was driving this morning, I took a gander at my voting area. The line was out the door.
The courthouse voting area and parking lot were crammed. City hall voting area in my town? No parking spots left. People were waiting to pull in and park.
the more the voters, the more likely the good guy wins.
Why is Kevin Gosztola reporting just the opposite--
source is Fox.

No matter what happens
the Southern Primary is over after today, and Bernie should be able to start closing the delegate gap. Primary Phase Three starts tomorrow.
Expecting: narrow wins in Illinois, Ohio, Missouri, 5 pt loss in NC, 20 pt loss in Florida. Clinton should extend her delegate lead a little bit more. But I am prepared to be pleasantly surprised.

I am close to you on predictions
but I got him losing Florida by about 15-20 and NC by 5-10.
However, that being said what do I know, I am just some asshole with a keyboard and an internet connection.

Illinois Twitter feeds show a 65-35 split 4 BS among Hispanics.
The whole Chicago scene is the same. Voters are showing up in large numbers and voting Bernie.
Yeah, but other than those lily-white Hispanics,

If you cannot accept these facts, I cannot fake an interest in any of your opinions.
Rahm Emanuel is despised by blacks in Chicago.
Spike Lee has been on the air and shaking hands, pushing Bernie. Friends of mine in the African American community have said that the anger is so strong, that they expect Clinton to lose - because of Rahm and his devious coverup of the cops killing a teen before his reelection.
Hmm. End of narrative that Bernie so white?
Of course, Clinton has been pivoting away from POC, IMO, for the last little while. Southland's under control, mostly, she got what she needed...

I wonder if this good sign for good Bernie? If so, will Scott extend the voting hours to mess with Clinton?
nothing's good for Bernie in Florida
just like Katharine Harris fixed Florida for W, Debbie will somehow get Hillary a win there.
We're not call Floridiots

At best
it indicates greater than expected turnout. At worst, a classic voter suppression technique. We report, you decide.

Ballots, what ballots?
Figures. Retch Scott strikes again. However, the people standing in line have to be allowed to cast a ballot!! Har-har, doesn't matter what the indicted Medicare crook and the tRump groupie Bondi, think.

Ohio?
Are word or feedback about voter turnout in Ohio?
Higher based on early reports
but we will not know more for a while most likely.
"I used to vote Republican & Democrat, I also used to shit my pants. Eventually I got smart enough to stop doing both things." -Me
NC and FL are EDT
will likely be called early, and the only ones I expect Clinton to win, so she will probably speak first. That will be her last winning speech of this primary. Bernie will hopefully wait until Illinois is called, giving the first of many victory speeches to come.
Is part of the FL panhandle on Central time?
Of course, if NC is not called early, that's a very good sign.
