But many larger states get larger through immigration (so in Florida, the immigrants are older northerners) and that increases both political diversity and ethnic diversity.

It seems to me Ms Clinton will get more votes than Senator Sanders in New York, by about 6%. The online “polls” show Sanders winning and losing. Heh.

What are the age demographics for “large states?” Do the high-population states have older voters than the smaller states?

One predictions market shows Clinton at 90% but I think it will be much closer. I bought 500 “No” shares at 10 cents each, since it’s too good a deal to pass up in case Sanders gets the majority.

I also think Clinton will be the party-nominated candidate, and I also think she will be elected president. (Heavy sigh.) But I have placed $409 on Sanders, and if he is elected president I will profit about $2,550.
