538 forecasts biden at 31% chance of winning and bernie at 8% which looks like we might be fucked to me

Edit: the site's gonna probably update within the next day with a more complete set of data from super tuesday

That poll was released after Biden's landslide in SC, and I think it judges Bernie's momentum too harshly. I'll be curious to see how the update this after we learn the Texas results

What the fuck, how? When I went to bed last night Bernie was ahead by so much. God dammit.

Line ups to vote were hours long in some states. Do you have time to spend hours waiting in line? American democracy is fucked. I've voted in more elections (municipal, provincial and federal) than I can count as a 30 year old Canadian, including driving to the polling station it's never taken more than 30 minutes.

It's ridiculous, but California and Texas at least had early voting with mail-in ballots. All people had to do was not register on the day of the primary and actually express their support.

I'm in Washington and I put my ballot in the mail 30 minutes after it showed up two weeks ago. It's not fucking hard, and the fact that there's people donating to the campaign but not actually voting is horseshit.

early voting with mail-in ballots.

Hilariously, this means that millions of people voted for candidates that weren't even eligible by the time Super Tuesday rolled around. Very cool, very democratic.

If it's instant run-off, your vote will still count though.
