While it doesn’t really feel like election day, Florida just finished their voting for the day and Biden has crushed Sanders:

In terms of delegates, CBS News is projecting that Biden gets most of them:
With Biden’s projected win in Florida, he will substantially add to his delegate lead. Here is where the current delegate estimate out of Florida stands. https://t.co/E3KhCZjESV pic.twitter.com/djl25g9rNs

But this isn’t surprising, as the polling showed that Biden was +42.8 over Sanders. I guess Florida really doesn’t like their Democrats making excuses for commie dictators like Castro.
UPDATE: Biden wins Illinois:

At the current time, with 34% in, Biden is beating Sanders 59% to 36%. Not as big a margin as Florida, but then polling only indicated he was +29.5 points ahead of Sanders. So it should be a little closer.
And here’s the current delegates from Illinois:

The polling didn’t lie. Biden will not only clean sweep, but he’ll take most of the delegates with him. It’s starting to look like time for Sanders to give up.
