Bernie won three states yesterday!

Like I said, the calendar looks good for him. Bernie Sanders Seizes 3 States, Sweeping Democratic Contests He didn't just win. He trounced. In Alaska he won with 82% of the vote, Washington state with 73% of the vote and Hawaii with 71% of the vote. These are "YUGE", (as Bernie would say), victories.

My favorite place to get detailed election results is The Guardian. Saturday, March 26th caucus results You get a little cartoon Bernie that rolls around. If Hillary had won any of the districts there would be one of her. They have similar cartoons for the GOP candidates. It is nice to ad some humor into the waiting game for results which can be really stressful.

I should point out yesterday's races were caucuses, not primaries. A primary is when you have an assigned polling location and a set number of hours to vote in. Say between 7am and 7pm. You can go to your poll anytime during those hours, they give you a ballot and you go into the voting booth and vote anonymous. In states like Georgia, with electronic voting, they give you an access card which you take into the voting booth and stick into the machine before casting your vote. No campaigning is allowed in or around the polls.

In a caucus, all the people of that district gather in one spot like the gymnasium of a school. Campaigning is allowed. Traditionally everyone supporting one candidate sits on one side of the room while those supporting another candidate sit on the other side. There is vigorous debate and everyone is counted several times. It is raucous and very public.
