It was a familiar sight for any reporter covering Bernie Sanders on his final California swings: young Latino voters, crowding into rallies and cheering him on. While the Vermont senator's struggle with non-white voters defined his campaign, and limited the reach of his insurgency, starting in Nevada he seemed to have more success with second-generation Latinos. They weren't tied to their parents' politics; they were receptive to the idea that the Obama administration, of which Hillary Clinton was part, had carried out a heartless deportation policy. In polls before the June 7 primary, Sanders had fought to a tie with Latino voters.


Those polls, on average, missed an easy Clinton rout in California — and they seem to have missed her resilience with Latino voters. Clinton won all 12 of the California congressional districts where Latino voters make up supermajorities of the population. (Sanders appears to have won just two districts, the largely white and rural 1st and 2nd districts of northern California.) Both Clinton and Sanders campaigned in the state's most heavily Latino seat, the 40th, which covers east Los Angeles. There, 86.6 percent of the population is Latino, and 55.4 percent of voters broke for Clinton.



It was a similar story across the state, though Sanders's vote was stronger where voters skewed younger. Clinton did worst — just 51.5 percent of the vote — in the 34th district, which is 66.5 percent Latino and covers downtown Los Angeles. She did only slightly better (52.0 percent) in Orange County's 46th district, one of the parts of the state that swung from Republican to safely Democratic as younger Latinos moved in.

The rest of the picture is below. In all of these districts, save CA-29, Clinton ran ahead of her statewide margin.

CA-16 (Central Valley): 58.1 percent Latino, 58.7 percent for Clinton.

CA-21 (Central Valley): 72.1 percent Latino, 62.7 percent for Clinton.

CA-29 (San Fernando Valley): 67.7 percent Latino, 53.7 percent for Clinton.

CA-32 (East LA sprawl): 61.9 percent Latino, 58.0 percent for Clinton.

CA-35 (Inland Empire): 70.0 percent Latino, 56.6 percent for Clinton.

CA-38 (East LA suburbs): 61.2 percent Latino, 56.9 percent for Clinton.

CA-41 (Riverside County): 59.1 percent Latino, 56.4 percent for Clinton

CA-44 (LA County): 70.5 percent Latino, 60.1 percent for Clinton.

CA-51 (San Diego and Imperial County): 69.1 percent Latino, 58.0 percent for Clinton.

I asked her to pick one person from the past to tell about her historic victory. And, nope, she didn't pick Susan B. Anthony.

We’re at the point of the primary where we can laugh at ourselves, right? Because this is legit funny.

Democrats Want This Thing To Be Over
Clinton’s margins tonight are toward the high end of expectations, with the possible exception of New Mexico, where she won but by a slightly smaller margin than we would have projected. But in New Jersey and South Dakota — and in the early returns from Montana and (more importantly) California — she’s doing very, very well.

There are more votes left to be counted. But it reminds me of the stretch of states that Trump had in April, where Republican voters suddenly began voting for Trump by large majorities after never having given him more than 50 percent of the vote before. That may have been because Republicans wanted to avert a contested convention and were sick of arguments over process.

Democrats may be reacting similarly, rejecting Sanders’s insinuations that the system is “rigged” against him, and giving Clinton, the candidate who has won far more votes and elected delegates, a more emphatic majority. Clinton has her largest lead in national polls since February, won in a landslide in Puerto Rico over the weekend, and is having somewhere between a very good and an outstanding night tonight, depending on how the rest of the vote in Montana and California goes.

Clinton Wins A Majority Of Pledged Delegates
Based on the early results from California and other states, FiveThirtyEight projects that Clinton will win a large enough percentage of the vote to capture an overall majority of pledged delegates, and an overall majority of the popular vote.

When Burlington College closed last month, students got the impression that the transition to another college would be smooth, and their tuition might be the same. They’re now finding it's more complicated than that.

Students have received mixed signals from Burlington College about the ease — and expense — of attending one of the schools that the college had approached to accept its students.

On May 16, the day that Burlington College officials announced the school's closing, the assistant dean of student services sent an email to students assuring them, “...you will be able to choose from a list of area schools, you'll be automatically accepted, you're [sic] credits will all transfer and you will pay the same tuition...”

A second email on May 17 said basically the same thing, but didn’t include the tuition promise, and didn’t offer any explanation for the omission.

Since then, students have been trying to figure out what to do.

“They really have no idea about what they’re going to do going forward,” says Andrew Tarwerdi, who was president of Burlington College’s student government. Tarwerdi says there’s a lot of concern among students about finding a new school and getting transcripts from the now-defunct institution.
