1. Gee, reporting/opinions don't match results.

Curious if this matches tracking results or the picture that was painted for the storyline.

2. Perhaps the reporting depends on what the votes are at the time.

UNCOMMITTED is now about 15%

8. Well, the "uncommitted" effort said they were targeting 10,000 votes---

and they are past that now--- (but they were deliberately low-balling their target, IMHO)

There were 19,000 plus uncommitted votes in this primary in 2020,
when there was still a spirited race between Biden and Sanders,

and 20,000 uncommitted votes against President Obama's re-election in the 2012 primary,
when he was unopposed....

So I won't begin to measure this 'uncommitted' protest vote, if and until they get beyond 20,000 'uncommitted' votes,
and how much...

9. Consider that Bernie took the Muslim area and some unversity voters in 2020 and 16 I think...they were

never Biden voters. I am actually encouraged. That is a small percentage...shows others have more sense.

5. It could be the high water mark.

Looks like most reporting is from Metro Detroit.

7. Nothing from Wayne County where Dearborn is.

It won't be the highwater mark until Wayne comes in. The areas reporting are Eaton (a small county), Washtenaw County (home to Ann Arbor, or the University of Michigan, which has a big uncommitted vote at 25% but no surprise with the campus being there), Oakland (that's suburban Detroit) and a couple smaller counties north of Detroit.

6. Wayne County has yet to report and that will give us a good indication of uncommitted's strength.

That's where Dearborn is.
