whenever people report them to that website using the form here

http://www.crowdsourcingdemocracy.or...t-results.html

the people running it compile them onto that excel doc shown.

Edit: they did have 129-55 down for Natrona County but it looks like they removed it.

Not that this is how it works, but that's what he'd need to average over the course of the second half, not where he'd need to start from.

Bernie Sanders Invited Himself to the Vatican!

Additional reporting at the end about how the headline is not acccurate, but once those internet headlines go up, I guess there's no changing them.

Doesn't look very good in Wyoming, looks like whole retirement homes are attending the caucuses, final results might be much closer than expected.

I think Bernie should make it more clear that their difference in the vote for the war in Iraq is less of a brag for him than a problem for Hillary. 23 Senators and 133 people in the House voted against it. Bernie wasn't an extremist. Hillary was a hawk.

Well, let's be a little patient. 65% of delegates so far, but only 2 counties reporting.

Another point about how even most "progressive" candidates, even on environmental issues are still looking out for some special interest.

Bernie is the only one I've heard talk about energy efficiency. Wasted energy is the lowest hanging fruit in cutting back on pollution and solutions for energy efficiency are very simple and provide a lot of work for very small businesses as opposed to industries that have any political influence.

Still being patient. Laramie county hasn't reported. 12k students at U of Wyoming. So far <1000 votes showing from reported counties.

She's crushing again in absentee ballots and by bringing whole nursing homes to the caucuses, her campaign has virutally 0 shame.

Nothing wrong with bringing in nursing homes.

Bernie's young supporters should have been visiting those nursing homes, making his case and then bringing people in to vote for Bernie.

Wyoming is a conservative area. I thought anti-establishment would be a much bigger thing there, but maybe there's too much anti-socialist even on the Democratic side.

Are people really whining about a well run GOtV campaign? That's some sore-ass losing right there.

Well it's at least unethical, a lot of these people are not in their best state of mind.

Regarding these absentee ballots, I'm not sure how this is working, but I read somewhere that a campaign can't send them on their own to nursing homes, the Clinton campaign is somehow coordinating it through their Superpacs and the DNC.

Nursing homes have been the perfect targets for the pre-posted return ballots from "William J. Clinton". I wish Bernie would use this tactic, maybe he thinks it's above him or something, but it's definitely cost him greatly in these states that allow early absentee voting.

In the end it's the youth to blame for not showing up themselves, but god damn is it frustrating to work your ass off trying to get young people enthusiastic enough to go out and vote, but it's all negated when the Clinton campaign sends letters to nursing homes and racks up votes left and right.
