Daily Kos Elections Nevada Democratic caucus liveblog #4
Nevada Democrats are holding their presidential caucuses today (the GOP’s caucus is on Tuesday), and we’re liveblogging the results. The caucus begins at 2 PM ET.
Results: AP (statewide) | AP (by county) | NYT | Politico
The best site for results today is the New York Times (see link above). With 37% reporting, Hillary Clinton has a 51.2 to 48.7 lead on Bernie Sanders. Again, please note that these are county convention delegates, not actual votes.
The results to keep an eye on right now are in Clark County, which is home of Las Vegas and 70% of Nevada’s population. Clinton leads by about 10 points there, but only 23% of Clark’s precincts have reported so far. Sanders, meanwhile, is up 52-48 outside of Clark, but 60% of precincts there have reported.
We're up to 42% reporting, and it's Clinton 51.5, Sanders 48.4. Why doesn’t it add up to 100% exactly? Believe it or not, you can show up to a caucus and declare that you’re uncommitted.
If you click on the NYT link above, then tap the “Size of Lead” button beneath the map on the right, you’ll get a good visualization of the size disparities between Nevada’s counties.
We’re almost halfway there now. 48% reporting, and Clinton is up 51.6 to 48.3.
Looking again at the Clark (Vegas) vs. non-Clark split, Clinton leads in Clark by 9 points, and 37% is reporting there. Sanders leads by 4 points outside of Clark, but 74% is reporting there.
Overall, we’re now at 55% reporting, and Clinton’s lead keeps creeping up. She’s now at 51.9 to Sanders’ 48.1.
Fox News just became the first media outlet to call the Nevada caucuses for Hillary Clinton. No one else has yet, though.
