Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumIt's about voters turnout
Time and again, it boils down to voters turnout. If Bernie's supporters don't go out and vote (especially millennials), he won't stand a chance. There are a lot of universities in MI with more than 100,000 students combined total. If they vote in large numbers, if they vote like Bernie's supporters did in Kansas and Maine and breaking records, Bernie will stand a chance in MI.
Ground game.

(32,056 posts)1. Sanders supporters are in line to vote -
All.over.this.country. The photo above ^ is the line of voters waiting to caucus in Maine.
The question is whether the dem party faithful manning the polls are letting them in to vote. We've had too many reports of people being turned away.

(898 posts)3. Hopefully Spring Break Is Over for Most Schools in Michigan ?
Something as simple as Spring Break could be a significant factor in the turnout.

(73 posts)5. Many of the big universities like Wayne and UM at Ann Arbor
Have their spring break next week.
The universities with their spring break this week have their out-of-state students body anywhere between 10% and 30%. Unless these students go out of state for vacationing, they should be able to vote in MI.
Students have to come out and vote in big numbers. I'm sure there is a ground game to do that.
