The Democratic age gap extended across both whites and Latinos in Nevada.

Well, well, well. Per ABC News today:

Age matters. Hispanics younger than 45 voted 70-27 percent for Sanders over Clinton in Nevada, while non-Hispanics under 45 voted almost exactly the same, 73-24 percent. There simply were proportionately more of the former. (Further, while the sample size of Hispanics age 45 and older is small, their vote was more than 2 to 1 for Clinton...similar to her result among non-Hispanics in that age group.)

Those totals track very similarly to Bernie’s resounding 82% support among Nevada millennials overall. Memes to the contrary aside, it sounds like Bernie’s win among Nevada Latinos was propelled by his support among younger voters across racial lines.

He was thus able to win Nevada Latinos because they are disproportionately young:

Per the U.S. Census Bureau, the median age of Hispanics in the state is 27.5, while the median age of non-Hispanics is 42.4. The fact that Hispanics in the state are younger than non-Hispanics would seem to support the notion that Hispanic caucus-goers were younger, too, and thus more apt to be Sanders supporters.

Hillary’s base remains wealthier voters, white/Latino voters over 45 and all black voters.

Bernie is short on time, but Hillary’s also running a bit short on firewalls...
