As of 123a CT refresh

Michigan has 130 delegates and Mississippi has 36 delegates so the above delegate totals aren't complete yet

And no, I'm not a paid Hillary shill (as at least one thread has called anyone who dares post the pledged delegate totals, or the popular vote for that matter -- Hillary won that tonight too). Nor am I a Hillary fan. You can check out my Recs page (my Recs page got me banned from the Hillary Group)

1. Congrats to both campaigns on good evenings

Both Sanders and Clinton can take a lot away from this evening and, hopefully, the campaigns have learned from it as well

[Jarqui]

2. Green Papers has it 92 Clinton 74 Sanders but votes still being counted

http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P16/MS-D

http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P16/MI-D

[progree]

6. I can't make heads or tails out of the greenpapers' delegate count

For example Michigan...

http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P16/MI-D

Also, AP seems to have more votes counted, e.g. just refreshed both, and for Sanders AP has 553,672 while greenpaper has 548,994

[Jarqui]

12. It's been updated - which they seem to do constantly. Currently:

567,542 Sanders
546,110 Clinton

[progree]

14. Seems AP updates more often - just did a simultaneous refresh of both`

Bernie Sander Michigan vote:
AP 573,337
Greenpapers 567,547

[Jarqui]

15. They also tweak the delegate numbers and other info on the page

And maybe they're getting their feed from the AP ...

3. There's also 14 citizen's abroad delegates.

No clue when those will be announced.

[rpannier]

7. I'm on the list to receive the numbers

It'll probably be a couple of days since the have to count the ballots (e-mail, fax, postal service)
I think they're valid with a postmark before the 8th
I voted by e-mail, so I don't know for sure

[RichVRichV]

16. I figured the count would have to wait on all the snail mail to get in.

[rpannier]

17. From the website

The final results of the Global Presidential Primary, including delegate allocations, will not be announced until all ballots are counted on March 21.

4. great to see Bernie winning in states which Democrats may actually win in the fall!

yay - thanks for posting!!!

[PatrynXX]

5. had some reporting MI was winner take all

so some confusion there (actual social media in MI) some again some confusion there but a major loss nonetheless to a state she stole in 2008 from Obama , they both promised they'd pull out and she didn't...

[litlbilly]

8. thats all you guys have now, the delagates? How about Bernie wins a huge state he was

supposed to lose by 18 points? Biggest upset in primary history. this will effect other states going forward and delegates you speak of will shift to Bernie.

[progree]

10. "thats all you guys have" - I'm not a Hillary fan, check my Recs page

[litlbilly]

11. sorry, im exited, its late, im just posting away:) not really looking at whos posting the ops

[progree]

13. No problem. Just reporting the news, good or bad or mixed.

As an aside, thankfully I decided not to report the raw vote total -- as updating several 6 digit numbers every 10 minutes or so would drive me crazy (I do report the raw percentage total). When I first posted, with more than 90% in both races, I didn't think the delegate amounts would be changing so rapidly. So I took on quite a job trying to keep this up to date

[Autumn Colors]

9. Today was final day of voting for Democrats Abroad also

13 or 14 delegates total, I believe. Some countries already reported their totals and Bernie was winning by a large margin.

Maybe a final delegate distribution from that primary will be announced tomorrow, but Bernie should gain on Hillary by a few delegates from that primary.

[rpannier]

18. I don't think anywhere is reporting officially

Votes will continue to be counted until March 21st
They may be referring to the number of votes cast at a polling station
But, since the bulk of the votes will be e-mail, snail and fax, those numbers are probably not much to go by

19. Mississippi Thinks Hillary Is Best

Another reason I don't like the state that exploits its citizens economically more than any other state. And they run on mass incarceration. I wouldn't even want to be associated with that.

[progree]

20. I wouldn't want to be associated with Mississippi either. I'm from Minnesota

On my resume I had as a geographical preference as "other than the Deep South" or something like that.

Mississippi to us is where most of our sewage ends up.

But by far most of the edge for Hillary in Mississippi and the other southern states was among A.A. voters, and I'm reluctant to slam them and I don't have a preference to not be associated with them (except I disagree with them on their choice for Hillary -- I don't think she's the best for POC or for anyone else other than the wealthiest few percent and the military industrial complex).

I don't think it is Mississippi's A.A. people that are exploiting others economically, or pushing for mass incarceration.

21. "We need model our state on Mississippi" said no state legislature ever.

[Democat]

22. There are Democrats in every state, even the most right wing states

Most of them would probably prefer not to live under their own terrible right wing governments either.
