[OKNancy]

1. one actually

213.5 for Perez ( I think that is what she said)

ETA: Perez 213.5

Warren 0
Ellison 200
Mayor Pete 1
Ms. Green 0.5
Pekofsky 0

2. Hope he gets it. Mainly due to Ellison's supporters who apparently sent out a bogus tweet

claiming the endorsement of Mayor Pete -smh-

A candidate's supporters can be their own worst enemy.

3. Sam Ronan drops out, endorses Ellison (nb - he got no votes in first round)

[True Dough]

4. I notice right-wing "media" trying to portray

Perez as the "establishment" candidate, an attempt by "insiders" to retain control of the agenda. I don't put a lot of stock in it, but good to know how the other side is attempting to paint their own picture.

[JHan]

10. Yep, unfortunately some of us fall for it too..

the whole establishment vs progressive and establishment vs whoever else is a false dichotomy.

[EffieBlack]

13. I just heard an Ellison supporter say that Perez did not march with them last year while Ellison did

Ummmm - Perez was SECRETARY OF LABOR last year and, last time I checked, Cabinet Secretaries don't do a whole lot of marching and protesting because they're running departments and stuff.

Jeez.

5. Peter Peckarsky drops out, endorses Ellison (also got no votes).

The only person who might shift the outcome is Jehmu Greene, who's not dropping out.

11. Greene gave Perez a full throated endorsement immediately after her

drop out address.

[SaschaHM]

6. Now that the Buttigieg endorsement lie on the part of Ellison backers has been cleared up...

he will probably win this round.

Before that, Ellison had a shot.

[Me.]

12. Agree

That tweet nonsense probably did Ellison in

[samnsara]

7. what are the clickers for?

[OKNancy]

8. not sure, but I think they used them for voting

but then decided not to because they weren't secure

[OKNancy]

9. looking at the results again, Looks like Perez is it

almost every single vote that wasn't for either would have to go to Ellison for him to win.
Of course that assumes no one switches from the two major candidates

ETA: Perez 213.5
Brown 12
Warren 0
Ellison 200
Mayor Pete 1
Ms. Green 0.5
Pekofsky 0

14. Go Ellison!!! Nt

[brooklynite]

15. Perez takes it

Ellison remained at 200; Perez picked up everything else.
