The Super Tuesday Thread

In California, they mailed out a real ballot to every registered voter. They can fill it out and mail it in, or drop it in an envelope at a polling place. They can also go to any polling place and get a new ballot. Potentially, every voter could vote twice.

They have flooded the state with ballots. Just because a person is registered to vote has never meant that they would actually take the time to vote. Therefore there will be a lot of extra ballots. California allows ballot harvesting, so there is incentive for unscrupulous persons to collect blank ballots and fill them out. That is probably what they are counting on.

Are they going to harvest ballots for Biden?

Sanders is tipped to win CA easily but all the polls were done before the dropouts so the race remains very much fluid. Betting markets are saying Biden will win the nomination.

That will depend upon who is out searching for ballots, and who is doing the counting.

Which candidate has the more dedicated and immoral supporters? Who is doing the counting and can stop the stream of new ballots coming in?

What they did last time around to US rep candidates is continued to accept new ballots after Election Day, and kept counting until the Democrat candidates had more votes. Then they stopped counting.
 
I clearly remember in 2008 Super Tuesday dozens of us were hunkered in the basement of the Nashville Ron Paul HQ while a tornado rolled through downtown. Interestingly I met my best friend that night.
 
Anyone like to gamble?

 
My prediction:
Alabama:Biden
Arkansas: Biden
California: Bernie
Colorado: Bernie
Maine: Bernie
Massachusetts: Bernie
Minnesota: Bernie
Oklahoma:Biden
Tennessee:Biden
Texas: Maybe Biden
Utah:Bernie
Vermont: Bernie
Virginia: Biden

I voted today. (I was out on errands and driving right past and the D primary was the only thing going on here, so sue me.)

I decided to do a real vote and put one in for Tulsi... it's just the primary after all, and I figure SOMEONE should vote for the last serious candidate in the race.

And, for the first time EVER, I filled out a paper ballot. I voted for the first time in 1992 and I have literally never seen a paper ballot before now.

I know for a fact this is not how the Democrats have run primaries in Virginia in the past.

It was some sort of scantron deal where you had to fill in a great big square and feed it through a machine that supposedly did optical recognition... and I was told "When you seen the American flag on the screen it's done". NOT "when you see the name of the candidate you chose on the screen".

They've pretty much engineered Virginia to be another Iowa-style game of grabass if they need it to be.

That is how it is in the Mitten State as well.
 
Virginia polls just closed and they called it for Biden. It's amazing how these people can be so sure about the numbers from just exit polling. Amazing
