YESTERDAY.BOTH CANDIDATES ARE

SUE:..THE SHAKEUP COMES AHEAD
OF THE BIGGEST DAY OF PRIMARY
SEASON.NEWS EIGHT POLITICAL
REPORTER RICK ALBIN IS HERE
NOW WITH HOW SUPER TUESDAY IS
SHAPING UP.
3
RICK:..THOSE TWO DEPARTURES
WILL CERTINALY HAVE AN IMPACT.
FIRST OF ALL TAKE THIS IN,
TOMORROW THERE WILL BE 1377
DELEGATES UP FOR GRABS.IT TAKE
JUST LESS THAN 2000 IT TAKE
JUST LESS THAN 2000 DELEGATES
TO WIN THE NOMINATION ON THE
FIRST BALLOT SO TOMORROW IS
REALLY BIG.LET'S LOOK AT THE
LAY OF THE LAND BERNIE SANDERS
IS LEADING IN MOST OF THE
STATES BUT NO POLLING HAS BEEN
DONE SINCE BIDEN'S WIN IN
SOUTH CAROLINA AND BUTTIEGIEG
AND KLOBACHAR HAVE DROPPED
OUT. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE
THE REAL CLEAR POLITICS
AVERAGE OF POLLS FROM KEY
STATES.
3
SANDERS LEADS IN MANY
STATES... THE EXCEPTION IN
NORTH CAROLINA WHERE JOE BIDEN
LEADS ... IN THE AVERAGE BY
ONLY THREE BUT A BLOWOUT IN
NEIGHBORING SOUTH CAROLINA ON
SATURDAY COULD GIVE HIM A
BOOST THERE.
3
THE BIG PRIZE, CALIFORNIA,
IT'S SANDERS OVER BIDEN BY 17.
3
TEXAS ... THIS IS AN
INTERESTING ONE TO WATCH
SANDERS IS UP BY 6 BUT THE
TREND LINE SHOWS BIDEN PICKING
UP SOME LINE SHOWS BIDEN
PICKING UP SOME SUPPORT.
SANDERS, HOWEVER, WILL DO VERY
WELL WITH THE LATINO VOTE.
3
IN VIRGINIA THE FIRST SIGNS
THAT THE LATE DEVELOPING
BLOOMBERG CAMPAIGN COULD BE A
FACTOR WHERE HE IS POLLING IN
SECOND PLACE TRAILING SANDERS
BY 5 POINTS.
3
MASSACHUSETTS, SANDERS LEAD
WARREN IN HER HOME STATE BY 4
... IF THAT IS ANYWHERE NEAR
THE OUTCOME IT COULD BE TOUGH
ON SENATOR WARRENS CAMPAIGN.
3
IN COLORADO SANDERS IS 13
AHEAD OF WARREN.
3
THE REAL QUESTION TOMORROW IS
WILL JOE BIDEN BEAT THE
PROJECTIONS IN ANY OF THESE
THE PROJECTIONS IN ANY OF
THESE STATES AFTER A LOPSIDED
WIN IN SOUTH CAROLINA ... IN
OTHER WORDS DOES HE DEVELOP
ANY MOMENTUM FROM THAT WIN?THE
NEXT QUESTION IS WHO, IF
ANYONE, IS OUT AFTER SUPER
TUESDAY?" INCREASINGLY THERE
AREN'T THAT MANY MORE TO DROP.
THERE IS STILL A LONG WAY TO
GO, BUT IF YOU DON'T FINISH IN
THE TOP TWO IN A COUPLE OF
THESE STATES THE PATH FORWARD,
AND TO FUNDRAISING, MAY BE
PRETTY NARROW.
3
AFTER TOMORROW THE RACE TURNS
TO MICHIGAN. SIX STATES HAVE
PRIMARIES ON THE 10TH BUT
MICHIGAN IS BY FAR THE BIGGEST
AND THE ONLY ONE LIKELY TO BE
A BATTLE GROUND STATE IN THE
GENERAL SO WINNING HERE HAS
BIG IMPLICATIONS FOR THE NEXT
NOMINEE ... EXPECT IT TO GET
BUSY WITH CANDIDATES COMING TO
A TOWN NEAR YOU BEGINNING
TOMORROW.
3
BRIAN:..LOOK FOR WALL-TO-WALL
COVERAGE HERE ON NEWS 8
TOMORROW NIGHT.LESTER HOLT AND
SAVANNAH GUTHRIE WILL ANCHOR

STATE THIS WEEK.ELIZABETH

THE TIME AND LOCATION OF THAT
EVENT HAVEN'T BEEN RELEASED.
3
BRIAN:..NOW THAT THE FIELD HAS
NARROWED, WHAT IF YOU VOTED
ABSENTEE FOR A CANDIDATE
THAT'S NOT IN THE RACE?THE
GOOD NEWS -- YOU CAN GET A NEW
ABSENTEE BALLOT MAILED TO YOU
UP UNTIL THIS SATURDAY.YOU CAN
ALSO GET ONE AT YOUR LOCAL
CLERK'S ONE AT YOUR LOCAL
CLERK'S OFFICE UNTIL NEXT

PRIMARY..
3
IF YOU WAIT ALL THE WAY UP
UNTIL ELECTION DAY-- AND YOU

ABSENTEE BALLOT -- YOU CAN DO
SOMETHING CALLED "SPOILING
YOUR BALLOT."YOU SHOW UP AND
VOTE IN PERSON BY COMPLETING
AN "AFFIDAVIT OF LOST OR
