PA Election Day Open Thread

Temporarily bumped as results come in - Mike.

Update III: That's all folks. Clinton wins. We'll have to wait and see if it's by the 10 points she needed for a real "victory," or a smaller margin that would cast her candidacy further into doubt among Super Delegates. I'll have a look at the final youth numbers late tonight or early tomorrow as they are available.

Update II: CNN has updated their exit polling. They're now putting youth share at 12% and 60+ share at 33%. That's a little more reasonable. I'll have more as the returns come in and the exit polling solidifies.

Update: CNN is saying 10% youth share and 40% over 60. This strikes me as wrong. If that was what the electorate looked like, it would be a Clinton blowout, but CNN is saying the race is too close to call. On the other hand, maybe students were a much smaller factor in this race, and the state is WAY older due to brain drain to other states. But still it seems weird that the race isn't being called for Hillary with such high senior turnout.

We're finally here, showdown in Pennsylvania. As during previous primaries, this is your friendly blogosphere open thread for all things related to youth and the primary.

Here's some information for those of you on the ground in Pennsylvania.

Vote Protection

Common Cause is running a vote-protection hotline. If you encounter trouble voting at your polling place call 866-OUR-VOTE and they will assist you. Also, remember that dormitories count as legal residences and you always have the right to cast a provisional ballot should you encounter resistance at your polling place.

No Voting Irregularities

First Read says that turnout is high and there are no irregularities in the voting so far.

I haven't heard of any problems, so things seem to be going well.
