The same goes for Maine, where Bernie had a 29% spread and Alaska where he won over 81% of the vote. Zero. Zilch. Nada. In Wyoming, Bernie is given 32 votes, not 32,000. He is given 32 votes.
It's ridiculous. But it's not ridiculous that Clinton claims she has a three million popular vote lead. It's an intentional, obscenely misleading, dishonest claim.
When a super delegate claims he or she is representing the will of the majority, basing it on the three million lead popular vote, it's based on a lie. Challenge that superdelegate.
When a journalist on a news network allows Hillary Clinton, her campaign manager or any of her many surrogates, employed by the networks or independent, to matter-of-factly state that Hillary has a popular vote lead, without challenging that claim, they are engaging in unethical, journalistic malpractice, or, framed another way, they are promoting the Hillary Clinton campaign.
If you observe the MSM engaging in this practice, call them on it. Tweet or share on Facebook the name of the "journalist" who gave the "pass." Include the network's twitter address and the journalist's twitter @address. Make a stink about this.
This is a lie that should not be accepted, tolerated or allowed to persist.
This is a follow-up to my article, published April 1, 2016, Hillary's Disingenuous Claim That She's Won 2.5 Million More Votes is Bogus. Here's why
Update May 20:
The problem is caucus states are not represented fairly in popular vote counting. The solution is to stop allowing caucus votes to determine delegates. It's become clear that while caucus states delegates are counted, the system fails to allow the states to be represented in popular vote comparisons. This failure to properly represent them in a statistic that is used in such a powerful, influential way is a huge disservice to voters in caucus states. If Colorado, Minnesota, WA and the others had held primaries the numbers would have been vastly different and an apples for apples comparison would have been possible. But as is, it is ridiculous to count caucus votes and compare them to primary votes. It's a flawed, misleading representation of the election process.
