RT @_waleedshahid: The Morning Consult poll of the voters' second choice is wild. #Lanes Biden 2nd Choice: Sanders 29% Bloomberg 25% Pete 14% Bloomberg Voters 2nd Choice: Biden 32% Sanders 27% Pete 15% Pete: Sanders 21% Warren 19% Biden 19% Warren: Sanders 40% Pete 16% Biden 16%
Looking at the numbers. Bernie Sanders still won Black voters under 40 years old in South Carolina. CRUSHED IT with Black voters under 30 years old. ABSOLUTELY SMASHED IT with Black college students and Black voters 17-25. https://t.co/z42wIuGSSZ

Here's some GOOD NEWS about @BernieSanders in South Carolina. 1) Exit polls show Bernie won younger African American voters (40%) 2) Exit polls show Bernie overall won voters under 44 yrs old (35%) 3) Exit polls show Bernie won first-time voters (30%) https://t.co/4YH98iKKdN
RT @JosephNSanberg: What most inspired my vote for @BernieSanders is wanting to stand with the multi-racial, paycheck to paycheck coalition of people under 50 who are energized by the campaign and their desire to build a nation where everyone lives with financial security! https://t.co/ksaQiOHTLF
RT @KristenClarkeJD: No matter how good exit polling and other efforts, it’s irresponsible to call an election with 0% of results. Voters have endured enough election fiascos in recent years— wait for meaningful data before calling a race. https://t.co/Y9E08I7RyN

I'm not challenging @JoeBiden's victory in South Carolina. But 0% of the votes have reported and the networks literally declared victory off of the exit polls alone. Bernie CRUSHED IT in the exit polls in Nevada. They still waited for hours and hours to declare victory. https://t.co/VgvPLOSYc5

RT @AriFleischer: I still find it stunning that none of the CBS reporters asked Biden about his claim of being arrested in South Africa. It is so much easier to be a Democrat than a Republican when dealing with the press. What a dereliction of duty by CBS News.
RT @micahflee: Bloomberg lied at the debate about how stop and frisk was stopped. The judge who forced the racist program to end by ruling against it talks about it here. And Biden also lied. He took credit for stopping it, claiming Obama admin appointed the federal monitor. Nope, she did. https://t.co/USxHGYZ15K
RT @farronbalanced: Joe Biden lied about being arrested in South Africa. He lied about working with China on Paris Accord (the person he “worked with” died in 1997.) He claimed yesterday that he’s running for Senate. How can a rational person look at all this and still think “Yeah, that’s my guy”?
RT @ggreenwald: Both Bloomberg and Biden blatantly lied about their role in stop-and-frisk, exactly as Shaun says here. Just listen to Shira Scheindlin - one of New York’s long-time smartest federal judges who oversaw the stop-and-frisk cases - explain this with perfect clarity: https://t.co/Q2NicsQcHF
We've reached a very disturbing point with @JoeBiden where he flat out lies right in our faces and we're just expected to accept it. It's going to be a MASSIVE liability against @realDonaldTrump that Biden tells outrageous lies on the campaign trail. I've lost count of them. https://t.co/hGdQfJPbS0
RT @danrolle: Quite possibly the most unsettling part of this video is the disturbing smile on his face when he says it. The sort of establishment disdain that says, “How dare you vote for anyone other than who we told you to.” It’s a look I know well. #NotMeUs https://t.co/XVBzHRao4m
RT @MarkKersten: Seriously, Joe Biden? It boggles the mind why anyone would lie about being arrested in #Apartheid-era #SouthAfrica, let alone say that it happened in Soweto, on the way to see Mandela on Robben Island. They are some 750+ miles apart https://t.co/2WHZ5mzE9p #DemDebate #USpoli

RT @chris_m_will_: can you imagine the scandal if Bernie had lied about being arrested with MLK & it turned out he was just lost at the bus stop? https://t.co/yaLAKsNlzS (i'm aware last time a photo went around falsely claiming to show B behind MLK in a march. the campaign confirmed it wasn't him)
RT @smithie1: Drops claim he was arrested seeing Mandela? It’s both sad & disgusting that Biden is so desperate to win Black support in South Carolina that he would debase himself & falsely claim that he was ‘arrested’ in apartheid South Africa https://t.co/HrM6xaet0P

RT @shaunking: 1991. 3 years before the 1994 Crime Bill became law, before Bill Clinton was ever elected President, @JoeBiden proposes giving the death penalty to so many crimes that he lost count.

RT @shaunking: Don’t listen to me. Listen to @KamalaHarris answer the question on whether or not Joe Biden was right when he said his 1994 Crime Bill didn’t make mass incarceration worse. IT DOUBLED THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN PRISON in just 10 years. https://t.co/pvDUtpbaWX

RT @shaunking: Joe Biden has many absolutely gross moments where he fought for mass incarceration. This is one of the worst. His crime bill already passed. Here he brags about writing the law requiring states to double the average length of prison sentences if they wanted federal dollars. https://t.co/AqQ7gy8VfO
RT @shaunking: 2019 @JoeBiden says the 1994 Crime Bill had NOTHING to do w/ states. He's even having his surrogates go out and say the exact same lie. But I need you to hear 1995 @JoeBiden. He literally WROTE THE LAWS making sure that states were required to be harsh in order to get funding. https://t.co/eYYRpYgC4D
RT @shaunking: This speech on the floor of the Senate from @JoeBiden fighting for the crime bill that he wrote, it was named after him, if it was given by any single Republican, would make them public enemy #1 from Democrats. It's despicable and full of racial tropes & disgusting exaggerations https://t.co/LDGVqwAgLS
RT @shaunking: The Crime Bill of 1994 was literally named after Joe Biden. Now watch the speech he gave for it. I think it's the single most problematic speech ever given on mass incarceration in US Senate History. Then listen to @BernieSanders blast Joe & blast the bill. NIGHT & DAY. https://t.co/oVKWEd1DUS
RT @shaunking: This debate clearly won't change a thing. Nothing. Nothing at all. @BernieSanders is the frontrunner and the other candidates look like desperate, bumbling idiots trying to take him out. I get it. They are struggling, but they look and sound so ridiculous.
RT @WaywardWinifred: Bernie Sanders is winning because he is leading a historic campaign funded not by the wealthy but by the people. The American people know he is on their side, not indebted to special interests. #DemDebate. He's fighting with for the working class. It's that simple.

RT @FlipTheSenate: Across the country, elections are at risk. Not from foreign entities, but from our outdated (and often unjust) electoral system. If we #FliptheSenate we can get big money out of our elections, streamline the system, and make voting more accessible to all. https://t.co/Le3MtMsbEM
RT @RAICESTEXAS: Today we rallied in Las Vegas because ICE is a threat to public safety, not immigrants. And local and national leaders need to address their own enabling of ICE and trumpism. #ICEoutofLasVegas #EndComplicity https://t.co/kJUhbgTT7i
RT @kai_newkirk: Bloomberg could spend 5 TIMES THE TOTAL COST OF THE 2016 FEDERAL ELECTION (~$6.5B) to elect himself and STILL have a nearly $30 BILLION fortune. A system that allows that is a system of oligarchy. You can't believe in democracy and support his "right" to buy OUR election.

RT @shaunking: Proud to share this FULL VIDEO from the homie @YelloPain. It's called "My Vote Don't Count" and I think it's the single smartest, wittiest hip hop video ever made on the limits and challenges and hopes of democracy in America. It's why we started @FlipTheSenate. https://t.co/HgDgk1G929
RT @JordanChariton: Here is @cinematicjones, my freelance cameraman who was just doing his job when a @PeteButtigieg staffer came up to him, touched his jacket, yanked his name tag off (which we were given when we SIGNED IN AT PRESS DESK). https://t.co/tAhoDUI4Yh
RT @shaunking: This is one of the single most corrupt moments in modern presidential politics. It’s not just absurd, it’s wrong. It’s unethical. The party acknowledges that widespread errors of simple math exist in the count, but states that it’s illegal to fix them. https://t.co/HetxBCLvrL
RT @RevDrBarber: Whether you agree w/ @BernieSanders or not, don’t get caught up in the lie that democratic socialism is anti-American. MLK was a democratic socialists. The corporate socialism of the Trump admin is the real danger to democracy. https://t.co/I2vFgnt2uF
RT @RepRaulGrijalva: I just got back from the border. This week, Trump blew up a sacred Native American hill on public land to build his racist wall. Watch my new update and join the growing movement to stop the wall. #NoBorderWall https://t.co/YgmS94vAwO
RT @kai_newkirk: The Iowa Dem Party has announced that Buttigieg will get 14 national delegates and Bernie will get 12. How does a Bernie 6000+ vote lead in the 1st rnd popular vote & 2500+ vote lead in 2nd rnd become a 564 - 562, .09% Pete lead in SDEs & then 14 to 12? That’s a broken system.
RT @fshakir: Appreciate the concerns here. We've spoken with the Nevada party, which has assured us that this individual does not have decision-making authority over the caucus count. Pls know we are working hard with the party to get every assurance that mistakes of Iowa are not repeated. https://t.co/7KvOcEmEPy

RT @Taniel: 3) Washington-Roselle in Carroll County remains incorrect. Buttigieg is given an extra delegate that should go to Klobuchar. (This is 0.11 SDE) 4) There is still an extra delegate for Buttigieg in Guthrie Gold; it should go to Sanders. (It is "only" worth 0.0857 SDE.)
RT @Taniel: 2) "Des Moines 14". One of most glaring errors still wrong: IDP is doubling down on idea that 31 > 50: 31 votes earns you more delegates than 50 votes. Error costs Sanders 0.28 SDE. IDP says local sheet is off. This doesn't have to bound our independent reporting of results.

RT @Taniel: The IDP results are still riddled with errors. They are mathematically incoherent. In some cases they don't conform to what local precincts are reporting. They can claim what they want. Thankfully, the press isn't bound to just account. That's where we come in. Let's dig in.
RT @BernieSanders: Just four years ago, the establishment said our ideas were “too radical.” Now millions of people are standing together in the struggle for justice. Join us in Keene, NH with @twiddlemusic and @Sunflower_Bean: https://t.co/njfsYrm8zt

RT @Taniel: whatever IDP correct, context: Dozens of errors we're talking about were all flagged Wed. On Thur, IDP did not correct these basic errors. But they said, "100% results." (Some but not all media relayed). They also said they're bound to follow sheets. We now know they were not. https://t.co/1b3mI5zwQf
RT @CoatsandLinen: .@Taniel and I found many other counties that potentially awarded too many delegates. The most egregious example: Scott County, which awarded 307 county delegates (126.893 SDEs), instead of the 300 (124 SDEs) it was allocated. Working on identifying the precincts responsible. https://t.co/393yWc5v1Y
RT @Taniel: sorry, but how is it acceptable for the IDP to not correct its extremely basic but glaring mistakes (e.g. of the "oh, 50 IS greater than 31 after all" variety) "before MONDAY" when they've been documented extensively since Wednesday?
RT @Taniel: IDK how to put this more plainly. We've reported, verified, recalculated, again, again, again, basic errors. Things like 31 > 50. Extra delegates. Error NOT on local sheet, contra to Price defense. It's been 72 hours since all this is out. They say they need 36 more hours? https://t.co/AN2588bm5X
RT @Taniel: @CoatsandLinen [SC 5 has 8 dels; SC 20, 5.] There's likely a precinct that's been misdistributed AND double counted. Another is likely missing. I did a twitter search & I see @Prodigawd & @ZacharyBrownAL had flagged this over past 24 hours. Apologies if they messaged it to me & I missed it.
RT @Taniel: @CoatsandLinen "Sioux City 5" & "Sioux City 20" are reporting exactly-identical R1, R2, & delegate allocation results for every single candidate (turnout=98). Clear mistake. Both say Biden 4, Buttigieg 3, Sanders, 2. AND THAT'S NOT ALL. That's 9 delegates... but neither has 9 to even give.
RT @Taniel: I think CNN, the NYT, and other media outlets should either pull the IDP results from their website, or entirely remove the "99/100%" indication, or at least immediately remove any duplicate results. This is a bigger mess than we thought. https://t.co/Co5B7Osy9L
RT @Taniel: @CoatsandLinen The chair of the Woodbury County Democratic Party (where Sioux City is located) is quoted in that newspaper saying that they have informed the IDP of this error. As of Saturday night, the IDP still shows the results of Sioux City 20 as tho it was Sioux City 5.
RT @Taniel: @CoatsandLinen more ðĻ: Sioux City 20 is missing from the IDP results; instead Sioux City 5 is reported twice. (And incorrectly.) A local paper reported this yesterday. The real Sioux City 20, which is missing, "overwhelmingly voted for Bernie Sanders." https://t.co/UNDqLyLtDn https://t.co/2oDPDOUbJ0
RT @Taniel: ðĻ NEW SITUATION. There's now evidence that there are some precincts still fully missing from the IDP results. And that other precincts have been double counted. And this isn't just in Sioux City, @CoatsandLinen confirms. The IDP results are NOT "100% reporting." https://t.co/0esgvcEPLh
RT @Taniel: NEW: I obtained the results sheet of Dubuque 31. (That's where IDP is reporting an extra delegate than precinct was allocated: 12 vs 11.) Results card only allocated 11 delegates, not 12. IDP defense for not correcting errors was that it must stick by local sheets.
RT @iamhenrydavisjr: As a Councilman in #SouthBend, I know why @PeteButtigieg looked like a deer in headlights last night when talking about systemic racism in the South Bend Police. He tolerated it, he perpetuated it, and last night he lied to millions of Americans about it.
