California, subject of the hit 1971 Joni Mitchell song “California” and biggest prize of Super Tuesday, was called by the Associated Press for Sen. Bernie Sanders moments after polls closed.

It will probably be a while before the final results are in and the state’s 415 delegates are allocated. A call this quick was unexpected and suggests a significant turnout for Sanders.

ONE MORE QUICK THING:

Or at least we hope. It’s fall fundraising time, and we’re trying to raise $250,000 to help fund Mother Jones’ journalism during a shorter than normal three-week push.

If you’re reading this, a fundraising pitch at the bottom of an article, you must find our team’s reporting valuable and we hope you’ll consider supporting it with a donation of any amount right now if you can.

It’s really that simple. But if you’d like to read a bit more, our membership lead, Brian Hiatt, has a post for you highlighting some of our newsroom's impressive, impactful work of late—including two big investigations in just one day and covering voting rights the way it needs to be done—that we hope you'll agree is worth supporting.
