Sanders eked out the lowest winning Democrat primary vote share in New Hampshire in 68 years

The relatively low turnout for Iowa's Democratic caucuses prompted some concerns about Democratic enthusiasm in the 2020 election, but New Hampshire primary voters turned out in force on Tuesday. With nearly 90 percent of precincts reporting, 274,785 people voted in the Democratic primary, above the 253,062 turnout level in 2016 and edging close to the record turnout of 287,527 in 2008, as NBC's Steve Kornacki notes.

I must be the last person in America who knows what “eke” means.

Interesting stats. Is this a bad omen for the Dems, showing how discouraged their voters are? Or is the vote just too divided right now to see the end game?

Go Trump!

“Eke” is to supplement or lengthen. That’s why we say “eke” out: because we’re pointing to an activity that supplements something meager. The popular use of “eke” is a malapropism, in which the writer has in mind the concept of “squeaking by”. The literal meaning of “eke” is as an adverb meaning “also”. You eke out an existence by doing something to supplement a meagre original. You might eke out your social security income with a part time job, for example. Strictly speaking, you can’t eke out an existence by being just on social security and nothing else. “ Eke “ is all about an addition.

You will disagree of course, and point to the current usage, which is dominated by undiscerning illiterates who set no value on clarity in language. Don’t even try with me; I won’t be impressed.
