They are up to 80% of the votes counted in Washington (per Huffpo)

Joe Biden: 446,833
Bernie Sanders: 424,803

Which, by my math, puts Joe up bo 22, 030.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Yes, the updates ended at around 5-6 PM last night, guess they knocked off for the night. George II Mar 2020 #8

They need to go ahead and call it for Biden. He's ahead by 22K votes onetexan Mar 2020 #3

Add about 4,000 to that number, now Siwsan Mar 2020 #7

Also... turnout is up compared to 2016 even with more to count Blasphemer Mar 2020 #4

By the calculus Sanders laid out yesterday, that is a decisive victory. ucrdem Mar 2020 #5

I wonder if they will finally call it, tonight. Last night the updates stopped, at right about this time. As it is, it looks like they will be splitting the delegates, pretty much 50/50.

He really knows his stuff. If he says that Biden will win Washington, Biden will win Washington.

It goes something like this: votes just measure delegates, and the establishment is afraid of him so that explains the delegates, but measured by hearts and minds he's winning, and America is moving in his direction and has clearly chosen Bernie as our next leader!
