Nevada has 2.8 Million people. Hillary Rodham Clinton won with about 5,400 voters and Berrnie lost with around with 4,600 voters. That number of voters is amazing.

no. Voter turnout is about 12-15%. You are talking about delegates which is not the same.

Still voter turnout of 12-15% is undemocratic. Thousands of people cant vote in caucuses because they dont get time off work.

There is no hip, young, cool minority to vote for. No one is excited to vote for a habitually lying criminal her own party doesn't even trust and a crusty old socialist. Been saying it since summer now, if Democrats are thinking minorities and new voters will save them like they did in 2008, they are in for a huge surprise. The GOP will win this election handily.

With 81% of the vote in Clinton only ahead by less than 500 votes. Take 250 away and give them to Sanders you have a different result. So, 52% to 48% looks big but it was not at all.
70% of the state was in one county. Clinton won 55-45 in that county (Clark) making a Sanders win nearly impossible.

Aren't those delegate-equivalent votes and not the actual caucus numbers similar to the Iowa caucases? I'm pretty sure the DNC doesn't release the actual caucus numbers.

These are stare level delegates not total votes.

Yes, posters on this thread are misinformed. Preliminary estimates indicate that well over 100,000 people voted in today's caucus.

Dexter, when the Republican loses "handily" in November I assure you I will be feeling nothing but a sublime degree of schadenfreude ...

Hillary lost by 22% in NH, took 6 fewer delegates, and won NV by 5% and got 5 more delegates than Bernie and with Iowa, they are pretty much tied up

And she still has more super delegate support...

for all the hype bernie thinks he has, he just can't get ahead where it counts...
