Hawai'i

The state of Hawai’i held it’s primary in-mail voting yesterday, and the results come in. Biden wins, but Sanders was not far behind.

The results: Biden came in winning 63.2% of the votes and earning him a total 16 out of the 24 pledged delegates up for grabs, while Bernie Sanders nabbed 36.8% of the votes and nabbed himself the remaining eight.

That brings the delegate total up to:


UP NEXT: The next election or two will probably give Biden the nomination, as June 2 has a total eight states up for grabs (DC, Indiana, Maryland, New Mexico, Montana, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and South Dakota). Those eight states has a total of 476 delegates up for grabs. Remember, it was originally over 500 until New Jersey rescheduled for July 7.

Oregon

The Oregon Democratic Primaries happened on Tuesday evening: Biden won the state with 66.2 percent of the vote.

Forgive me as I wanted to post this on Wednesday, but not all the mail-in ballots were counted and the delegates were handed out, but now they are.

At last check yesterday, Biden picked up 45 of the 61 delegates while Sanders, who amassed 20.4 percent of the vote -- picked up only eight as he went over the 15 percent threshold to acquire more delegates. That didn't match the 61, so that means 8 more delegates were still at play. Today, we know how they were divided, and actually it wasn't Biden but Sanders who won the most in the minority: Sanders picked up 7 more,  which brings him up to 15. Biden picked up the last remaining to bring his delegate count total in Oregon to 46. (I actually think this is neat, but if you look at it fr

I always wanted to include this 'cause it looks so good. I might go back and incorporate the other states in my primary overall review, but I found this in Wikipedia that shows the winner according to different regions of the state. I know it looks like Biden sweeped a 100% victory, but trust me, some Sanders votes were in there!

Here are the delegate counts as it stands before 2pm today, in which the state of Hawai'i will announce their totals (more about that in the "Up Next" section):

Basically, Sanders is almost in the 1,000 delegate vicinity (and if he ends up with MORE than one delegate from Hawai'i that'll put him over the mark), and Biden needs about 447 more delegates to clench the nomination.

UP NEXT: The state of Hawai'i holds their primary on May 22, which I mistakenly thought was today but just realized two days ago was YESTERDAY (well, to be fair, two days ago would put me in the vicinity of "tomorrow"). I thought it would be announced today where I could cram two blogs as one, but the results of the party mail-in primary voting won't be revealed until 2 pm. (Even though she's dropped, I'm pretty sure Tulsi Gabbard will pick up a few votes, as her name is still on the ballot.)

Nebraska primary

The Nebraska Primary was held yesterday, and all the votes have been tallied.

And it appears Joe Biden has done  the unthinkable for the first time in the election cycle. With Bernie Sanders’ name still appearinng on the ballot despite dropping out a few weeks ago, Biden still won —- and he won by a big margin where he was able to pick up ALL 29 DELEGATES in the state: that means he received both the 25 pledged delegates and, for the first time in this election cycle, the unplugged delegates in which Nebraska has four.

Biden picked up 77.4% of the vote count while Sander’s couldn’t make it past the delegate threshold — but almost did; Sanders ended up with 13.6 percent.

Elizabeth Warren and Tulsi Gabbard’s names both appeared on the ballot as well, but they couldn’t get past the 10,000 vote count.

That means the delegate count is:

NEXT UP: Oregon is the next state to hold primaries. It was scheduled along with two other primaries that day (Georgia and Kentucky), but both were delayed due to the pandemic. The Oregon primary is a closed primary, with 61 of the 74 pledged delegates at stake.

Kansas Primary

Kansas held it’s primary election on Saturday May 2 and the victor came out to be Joseph Biden, who is still the sole candidate remaining in the race despite Bernie Sanders’ name appearing on a handful of ballots. Biden walked away with 77 percent of the votes and picked up 29 of the 41 pledged delegates. Sanders ended up with 23 percent and picked up 10 delegates. The remaining two are still up for grabs and all probably won’t be tallied until the Democratic convention.

NEXT UP: It is onto Nebraska in which 24 of the 29 pledged delegates will be awarded.
