(3,937 posts)Clinton has won states like Alabama where exit polls had her 14% lower than the certified vote count.

(58,724 posts)If the 3 million number is false, what's the correct one?
merrily
(45,251 posts)for someone to pull out of his or her ear that if they were all primary states, Hillary would have many more than only 3 million votes.
oberliner
(58,724 posts)Is there a way to get those numbers?
merrily
(45,251 posts)the million figure with no mention that it excludes all caucus states is, at best, a misleading half truth.
Hillary has done that--and with no push back whatever from interviewers.

(58,724 posts)I did a little quick research into this based on our conversation and found this:
So, in response to a query from a Sanders supporter, we decided to see whether including caucus votes would make much of a difference.
<From there it goes into a state by state estimate of votes for each candidate in the caucus states>

The article concludes:
Despite the suspicions of the Sanders supporter, the fact that caucus results are not included in the popular vote tally does not appear to make much of a difference in the final result.

(45,251 posts)The Washington post website hold the record for anti-Bernie articles--and that's saying something--ten in under ten hours in one day alone.
I don't think the figure can be calculated in a caucus state. If forty people show up to caucus, the most you can get is 40 votes. I don't know how anyone figures out how many other people those forty represent. But, whatever. My point was how long it would take someone and it took ten minutes, not five seconds. So, I was wrong. I failed to factor in how early it was. Next time, I'll be more careful with my estimates.

(2,388 posts)all over the world, and they are doing the same to Bernie. Fortunately now we
have work-arounds to expose the truth which is why they have to use their own
work-arounds, most pretty blatant, to steal the election from the people once
again.

it's amusing for a while, but when they keep posting their 'lyin' eyes reports' is just gets tedious...
it's getting tough to figure out if it's a HRCbot or Trumpster...
