The Super Tuesday returns are rolling in. Who will win the night?
As i write this, Joe Biden has won Virginia, North Carolina and Alabama. Bernie Sanders has won Vermont, his home state. How will Elizabeth Warren and Mike Bloomberg fare?
The big delegate states of Texas and California are still out.
Plus, there are lots of down ballot primaries to watch.

Chris Wallace is saying, probably correctly, that by the end of the week, Sanders will be in the lead with delegates.

At least in Texas, they get re-apportioned according to who won. In other words, if Sanders wins 60% and Biden 40 (not sure if the percentage is votes or delegates), Sanders gets 60% of any delegates Buttigieg wins and Biden 40, e.g.
I happen to know this because some of my relatives in Texas voted early for Mayor Pete and are really ticked off because would have chosen Warren as second choice

Hey, electoral process nerds or people who know stuff. What happens to the delegates that have gone to Bloomberg, Amy, Pete, Elizabeth and Steyer? Do the superdelegates get to redirect them or does the 1991 target drop a little?

Ok, former choice Elizabeth. There is no point in continuing after coming a poor third in your own home state. Sorry to see you go, not least because this was the year for a woman to finally take the Oval, but it’s all over. Now you and fellow disappointment Bloomberg, please start playing nice with Uncle Joe.

Donna Brazile just revisited her comments from earlier. She more or less said that she had gotten a talking to but would not stop speaking truth to power. I hope to grab that and post tomorrow.

I’m a contra dancer and every time I hear the words “long lines,” I think “forward and back.”

Have the early votes been counted first? From what I’ve seen, Joe seems to do better and better as the night goes on.

President Rump must be wondering how many illegal aliens voted for Biden tonight. He will want an investigation from AG Barf.

Huge deal, Ellen. I feel so relieved that the path forward now seems clear. Can you just imagine the panic running through Trump and his minions right now – expect HUGE Biden/Burisma shock scandal scoop special investigations dominating Fox for the next 8 months!

Minnesota goes to Biden. Thanks Amy, and what’s that old song? That’s right, Bye Bye Bernie.

This indeed a super Tuesday. I’m with you on the queues, Ellen. If you insist on leaving voting arrangements up to the individual states, something akin to the Voting Rights Act is called for.
If vote-suppressing states (for that’s what they are) do not get their act together and provide adequate facilities, they should have the responsibility taken over by Washington. Even better, hit them with substantial fines for each and every voter that is forced to wait more than, say, 10 minutes.
Call me a hopeless dreamer, but I’m looking forward to majorities large enough to kick the Electoral College into touch and reform the Senate to make voting power proportional to state population (i.e. one vote for every electoral district). That may sound unwieldy, but it’s always been the way that shareholders in companies and corporations get to vote.

AP called Oklahoma for Biden, too. Notes that Bernie won in 2016.

MSNBC showed a three-hour line in Austin. It’s inspiring to see the engagement but, as Rachel Maddow said, a disgrace that Texas does not provide enough voting resources.
