Election night results- Kentucky and Oregon

Okay, I am not from Kentucky, but Indiana. I am hoping Bernie squeaks out a win in this primary, but not sure what will happen.

But I thought to post this initial essay until Alphalop gets online to host the results party.

Lets hope for the best.

Update- changed the title- lets go Oregon ducks and beavers

My hope for Oregon is to be a solid win for Bernie.

no gain but no real loss, if it's this close. Plus she needed a "win". Morale, you know....

For some inexplicable reason, Hillary has some strength in this state; also, of course, there's the fixers.
So far, this isn't so bad.

Right now, though if we can get to the magic number that's great, the main thing is to keep her from getting there.

It will be very close.

I counted outstanding precincts by various votes group- it is going to be very close. I am hoping for a very slim Bernie win, but it will come down to the last votes. Come on Bernie!!!!

I need to catch my commuter train.

No matter the outcome in Kentucky, at least Bernie fought it to an almost win or draw in a state she should have beat him and she campaigned like crazy- she is such a weak candidate and person.

Lets look for doing well in Oregon.

as Janet has pointed out, we're not immune to shenanigans. Davis and Hibbitts are well respected pollsters and they had Hillary up 15%. Now on a personal level I dislike them quite a bit. They're know-it-alls who didn't really listen to my business pitch. I provide statistics services for companies like theirs. I talked to them briefly, came away thinking "boy, are they #$#%&^s." But they've been pretty accurate. I hope, however, that they've made a major blunder on this one.

Meanwhile in Kentucky, if Bernie had been up by a point with 84% in and then down by a point with 86% in then Hillary must have gotten every single one of those 8,000 or so votes. Kind of peculiar but par for this primary season.

Of course, Jefferson County means she'll win the state, but it's nice that it has to go so close the wire (and considering the endemic fraud that's occured nationwide, if it's this close, I imagine he would win if everything was fair) and that he took the lead back at least for a second!

"shockingly", over half of the remaining precincts still out are in one county, a pro-Hillary county that will, as we know, suddenly find some Hillary votes.

Everything in Jefferson County is computerized and tabulated very quickly on the scene. Nonetheless, even though the polls in Jefferson County closed at 6, it was stuck at 78% reporting until they knew how many votes they needed.

I am so over the Democratic Party.

Pike county was just adding the final votes. Bernie picked up another 2000 votes. Looks like this state is going to be about who gets the odd delegate in what could be termed a virtual tie.

Calls to Kentucky election fraud line up sharply from 2015 primary

There were 25 calls from Jefferson County, including questions about a voting machine and complaints about vote buying and electioneering within 100 feet of a polling place. Kentucky law prohibits handing out candidate literature, displaying signs or other campaign-related activities near polls on an election day.

Four of the six calls about vote buying came from Breathitt County in southeastern Kentucky. There was one report of "disrupting polls" in Louisville.

Vote buying?

she can beat Sanders in a southern state. What is amazing to me is how close it was. If you had asked me at the beginning of the year how well I thought Bernie would do in my birth state of Kentucky I would have honestly predicted he would be pommeled by Clinton.

This impresses upon me a couple of things. The incontrovertible truth that every vote counts, and just how far the Sanders campaign has come. It has been no small feat that he gains name recognition when the press keeps forgetting to mention his name. It has been a mountain to climb to fund a PRESIDENTIAL! campaign without the support of the "wealthy minority".

It's been said that it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game. Bearing that in mind Senator Bernie Sanders is playing better than any other player I've ever watched. And, if this were Survivor I'd cast my last tribal council vote for Bernie. Luckily it's not Survivor and I actually get to vote for him in 3 weeks.

PS. Would it be a good idea to start another diary for Oregon. This one is bogging down the site with is level of participation which is quickly approaching high velocity fabulosity!

Signed a trade deal with Japan trading away our entire lumber industry. It basically turned everything from the coast to the Olympics and all of the towns in the Cascades into the third world.

Most of those towns have never recovered. In my county on the Northwest Olympic Peninsula out of 1600 some votes she got 5. So yes it is possible.

Tilamook County: 1,325 Bernie 1,325 Hillary (50% reporting).

I usually vote by mail. This year I have gathered a modest entourage and we are all going voting together. I honestly don't think they would have voted if I didn't make it a "get together".

Every vote counts. I encourage everyone in the handful of the remaining primaries to find as many people they can to escort to the polls and make a celebration of it. If Hillary can garner votes by courting corporate moguls then I don't feel one bit guilty about buying a round for a group of friends to celebrate participating in the electoral process.
