Sanders has "a strong feeling" that the results will be released "at some point."

The poll workers are saying go to bed. You ain't learnin' shit tonight.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

This is why we Australians have election night parties.
By the time results start to come through you don't WANT results any more … you just want another drink.
Losing hurts and you can use some anaesthesia.

There's something to be said for going to a party which leans the other way from you. Win or lose you have a good time.

Come and join the chase!
Nothing could be drier
Than a jolly caucus-race.
Backward, forward, outward, inward
Bottom to the top,
