[retrowire]

3. Uhh...

Why is O'Malley on the Ballot?

[Paulie]

4. There are like 30 people on the dem ballot

$1000 or I think it's a couple hundred signatures to get on the ballot.

[jberryhill]

5. Because the ballot is likely fixed in stone weeks before the election

[retrowire]

6. And people are still voting for him. nt

[jberryhill]

8. Yeah, so?

So what?

They can also write in any name they like too.

This is a thoroughly unremarkable feature of elections, that names appear on ballots even after candidates have stopped running, or in some instances, DIED:

A Democrat, he served as the 51st Governor of Missouri (1993-2000) and was elected posthumously to the U.S. Senate.

Two Dead Candidates Win Majority Of Votes In Washington State

12. same thing happened in 2000...more or less...n/t

[Hassin Bin Sober]

14. My dad always said he was going to vote for (the first) Chicago Mayor Daley after Daley died.

Since so many dead people voted for him while he was alive.

[PonyUp]

16. LOL!! n/t

[retrowire]

17. Wow!

The more you know.

[jberryhill]

24. Yeah, shit happens

There are people who voted for dead candidates KNOWING they were voting for dead candidates.

The idea that people cast their votes on the basis of some sort of rational process is, by and large, utter fiction.

But, no, O'Malley will be on a lot of ballots going forward. It's not some sneaky scheme to siphon votes. It's just procedural inertia.

[Purveyor]

7. Most likely the ballots where already approved and printed

before he dropped out???

[dsc]

15. they have a filing deadline and then print them

people vote absentee, overseas ballots etc. NC ballots have already gone out for our 15 Mar. primary. O'Malley is likely on them.

[DCBob]

2. 53-44 now.

[demwing]

9. Bernie ahead: 54-44 w/ 3% in

too close for my taste, but still double digits

[DCBob]

10. 53-45 now.

This could be close.

[Peace Patriot]

11. Here's a site with a nice map of precincts (color-coded for candidates)

http://www.decisiondeskhq.com/

They have 6% precincts reporting (about 21,000 votes counted)--almost all purple (for Bernie) in the Dem map:

Bernie 57.5%
Hillary 41.4%

(Note: site glitch, just look below Hillary's name for her %.)

[Peace Patriot]

13. The above %'s are holding at 8.6% of vote counted.

nt

[Peace Patriot]

20. 9.3% of vote:

Bernie 59.2
Hillary 40.0

[k8conant]

19. Thanks for this link...

that's what I'm watching now.

[demwing]

18. Bernie ahead: 53-40 w/ 10% in

http://www.cbsnews.com/elections/2016/primaries/democrat/new-hampshire/#county-results

[Peace Patriot]

21. Strange. Cite I'm watching has Bernie 59.2%, Hillary 40.0%

with 9.9% precincts reporting. (Did Bernie lose 6 %-pts on .1% of votes counted? Not likely. Is somebody skewing reporting of results? I'm not looking at NH state cite.)

http://www.decisiondeskhq.com/

[Peace Patriot]

22. Decisiondeskhq is calling it for Bernie w 14.2 precincts reporting.

Vote count at this point (on this site):

Bernie 59.2%
Hillary 40.0%

[demwing]

23. CBS Now shows Bernie ahead 57-41 w/ 15% in

http://www.cbsnews.com/elections/2016/primaries/democrat/new-hampshire/#county-results

Have no idea why there's a difference
