large numbers. In my county (Contra Costa) you would think that Bernie had 90% support judging by the signs, and the people harassing you going into various stores. But, Hillary won by 20%.

And if Hillary had won them I would still be against them. I lived in a caucus state for a few years. Did it. Hated it. Found it downright appalling.

Low turnouts. DISMAL turnouts.
Exclusionary and undemocratic.
Prohibit participation by elderly, disabled, working poor, single moms with young kids, anybody who can't get out of work that day, etc.

Caucuses suck and they should be eliminated.

In both of those states, Sanders won the caucuses and Clinton later won the non-binding primaries. What purpose would there be to steal a non-binding primary!?

None are completed. 15 are at County Canvass Update. Returns are updated as county elections officials process vote-by-mail, provisional and other ballots during the 30-day post-election canvass period. 43 are at Final Election Night Update. No further updates will be provided on election night but ballot counting will continue during the 30-day post-election canvass period.

Maybe 8 counties at most probably will have substantially more updates. I'm guessing only 3 might take a few more days.
