Big ups for the Clinton organizers in Wyoming.

[geek tragedy]

They fought Sanders to either a narrow 8-6 loss or maybe even a tie, 7-7, in delegates.

He needed to win 11-3.

Surrogate votes were the difference.

Democrats EVERYWHERE can make a difference.

[Her Sister]

1. hip hip hooray!!!

yes you're right!! Dems everywhere! Making a difference!

[MattP]

2. Big ups to Bernie for stepping in it this week!!

He finally got the spotlight he's been begging for

[mcar]

3. Great news!

[George II]

4. Wyoming was never a big factor or worry in this process....

So Sanders wins another tiny (the smallest!) caucus state.

One more state down, and no caucus states remaining.

No on to the clinchers - New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, California.

[geek tragedy]

6. no, but depriving him of the delegates he needed really does help. nt

[George II]

16. True - basically today's caucus was a wash, there is one more state down....

...and we're closer to the end. Sanders has to do better than gain 2 delegates every week.

5. Does anyone have details on how Wyoming's delegates are apportioned?

These caucus rules seem different in every state somehow.

78% reporting on CNN has 56.4% for Sanders to 43.6% for Clinton. That's not a giant lopsided margin, so how would that chop up the 14 state delegates?

[geek tragedy]

8. 56.25% for Sanders means 8-6 split, less than that means 7-7 split nt

[IamMab]

15. At 96% reporting, it's 56.2% to 43.8%. Looks like it could go either way based on last county.

Kind of a nailbiter. lol

11. 100% divided by 14 delegates

equals 1 delegate for approximately every 7% of the vote.

So, to get 8 delegates, you'd need about 56% of the votes.

[George II]

18. As of now, the NY Times has given Sanders 7, Clinton 6 with 96% of the vote in:

Even if Sanders were to pick up that one remaining delegate, that would put the Wyoming count at Clinton 10, Sanders 8 - including the emboldened Superdelegates who are expressing their dismay with the harassment they've been getting from the Sanders campaign and his minions.

21. They are now tied 7-7! Woooohoooo!

[George II]

23. A lot of good that trip out to Laramie did a few days ago, eh? But...

...even if Clinton didn't get that last delegate, she STILL won Laramie County anyway!!!

7. The latest whining from Team Slanders:

Absentee ballots are cheating.

[geek tragedy]

9. as is early voting, and closed primaries, and letting people in the south vote nt

[Thinkingabout]

12. Any votes for Hillary is cheating, got it, here comes the oligarchy, Sanders

Talks about it all the time, must be the revolution.

[NuclearDem]

13. They sound more and more like Republicans on voting every day.

How long until they demand we all show up with photo IDs to vote?

[KitSileya]

14. And here I thought the Democrats opposed disenfranchisement

I guess if it helps Bernie, it's ok. Early voting, absentee voting, many polling laces, no poll taxes, restrictive ID laws on voting - that's what Hillary and the Democratic party to which she belongs support. She has had her campaign lawyer support suits against ID voter laws, and in Arizona, she was probably the most hurt by the few polling places in a county where she statistically would have had the most votes.

But BS supports caucuses and now apparently don't want to give people who are unable to caucus a chance to vote. How Republican of them.

[George II]

19. Probably not voting for Sanders would be considered cheating, too!

[Walk away]

10. They deserve a big THANK YOU from the entire party!

You guys did an unbelievable job!!!

[Lucinda]

17. And she has 4 supers in WY

so he may "win" but she will have more delegates from the state combined.

Not a good showing for Sanders today!

[Tarheel_Dem]

20. I think the problem with caucuses is that they don't all allow for "surrogate votes". Many people..

like myself, don't relish the idea of sitting in a room for hours, full of screaming college children, all hyped up on Red Bull & candy corn. I hope the state of NC never even contemplates switching from a primary to a caucus system. I think the primary system is far more democratic.

[Her Sister]

22. Delegate tie 7-7

https://www.washingtonpost.com/2016-election-results/wyoming/

http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results

She got Goshen the last county to count.


woohoo!!!

[SaschaHM]

24. The surrogate hate is delicious..

It's not Hillary's fault that the Sanders campaign completely dropped the ball when it came to that. They were probably too busy shoring up their earlier wins. I'm guessing they are playing a week to week game.
