I spent today with a fellow political scientist conducting an exit poll in Rochester, a town in Stratford County not far from the Maine border. So forgive me if my coverage tonight takes a special interest in the outcomes there. Its six wards went for Sanders over Clinton by 21 percentage points back in 2016, closely mirroring Sanders’s 60-38 win statewide. As I wrote at the time, Sanders had the advantage of a diverse base of support, including both policy-oriented liberals as well as more moderate, disaffected voters unimpressed with Clinton. I’ll be curious to see how broad Sanders’s base of support is in Rochester and elsewhere tonight.
