The DNC Doesn’t Want to Count Michigan’s Popular Vote?
I love Markos, he's a very good friend, but this has to be the funniest version of the popular vote total.
By the way, in the real popular vote, including Florida which the DNC now accepts, and excluding Michigan, which the DNC now rejects, and including the caucus states (which Clinton and her camp want to disenfranchise), the numbers currently are Obama +183,067.
So, the DNC wants to count delegates from Michigan, including awarding 4 delegates to Obama that Hillary won, but give her none of the 328,309 votes she won in the state certified election?
Telling 328,309 voters from Michigan who voted for Hillary their vote doesn't count because another candidate voluntarily removed himself from the ballot has to be one of the dumbest moves ever.
From the Real Clear Politics popular vote total link that Markos cites :
Total Votes With Florida and Michigan and without the caucus estimates:
- Hillary: 17,605,496
- Obama: 17,350,032
- Hillary leads by 255,464 votes
Total votes with Florida and Michigan and the caucus estimates for IA, WA, NV and ME:
- Hillary: 17,829,358
- Obama: 17,684,116
- Hillary leads by 145,242 votes
