Leaders of Democrats' two biggest super PACs call race for Joe Biden Two of the biggest super PACs in the Democratic Party, which have remained neutral in the primary so far, effectively called the race for Joe Biden over Bernie Sanders after the former vice president won Michigan's primary. "The math is now clear. Joe Biden is going to be the Democratic nominee for President," tweeted Guy Cecil, the chairman of Priorities USA, which spent almost $200 million in the 2016 presidential election. Cecil added that his group, which was founded to help former President Barack Obama's re-election in 2012, would "do everything we can to help (Biden) defeat Donald Trump in November." Bradley Beychok, the head of American Bridge, another large Democratic super PAC that focuses on opposition research, seconded the sentiment. Our team @American_Bridge has been ready to support the eventual democratic nominee for the last 2 years. Our team has outspent Trump on 📺 in MI, PA, and WI. That work expands bigly tomorrow as we will be ALL IN to elect @JoeBiden as our next President — Bradley Beychok (@beychok) March 11, 2020 Share this -

Young voters in Michigan face hours-long line, same day voter registration to blame Videos and photos circulating online Tuesday night show long lines wrapping down hallways and staircases in various polling locations as young voters waited for hours to cast their ballots in Michigan cities like Kalamazoo, Ann Arbor and East Lansing. Colin Sherrod, 21, a college student at Michigan State University, waited over more than two hours to cast his ballot for Bernie Sanders. He registered on Tuesday and believes that’s one of the reasons why the voting lines seem excessively long. "I think the main issue was because so many people tried to register on the same day. I’ve heard that wait time grew to four hours after I left," he told NBC News. Officials in Ann Arbor also blamed same-day registered for the long lines. "Ann Arbor has no waiting for people who are registered. Same-day voter registration, and everyone who isn’t registered, have been coming to the Clerk's Office,” City Clerk Jacqueline Beaudry said. "We have registered to close 1,000 people. This is the first time we have implemented this." Michigan State University College Democrats told NBC News that polling stations were ill-prepared to deal with the amount of students that turned up to vote and information about how to register wasn’t communicated well. "Student groups on campus are trying to keep voters in line by having food and drinks at the polls to keep people spirits up and make sure they vote," the group said in a statement.
