Curious quick question. I keep seeing how many millions Clinton is ahead in votes;

[polly7]

has there been any tally of the total number of voters who weren't allowed to vote because of closed primaries, having their affiliations changed without their knowledge, etc.?

As well as:

"and don't forget caucuses, Bill interfering, misleading flyers and ballots,

paperless voting machines, the phony American Independents Party, misrecoding votes at caucuses, and varied and sundry other undemocratic shenanigans (well, cheating actually)."

1. It's in the billions. All of them Sanders voters.

10. That was in reply to your thoughtful response in the discussion. nt.

12. That does seem to be the assumption

I don't think it's a given that all of those Independent votes would necessarily have gone to Sanders.

If someone was such an ardent supporter of a particular candidate then it would have been wise to reregister as a Democrat or a Republican in those closed primary states. Not that hard.

2. So outrageous when only Democrats can vote in a Democratic primary.

Bernie wuz robbed.

3. No. No such tally is possible, since the information is not known.

Numbers at the polling places count. Imaginary numbers don't.

3.1 million more popular votes. 290-something pledged delegates. A huge majority of the superdelegates. Those are the numbers that count.

Elections count. Caucuses count. Delegates count. Actual elections, caucuses and delegates. No other numbers count.

4. We have a closed caucus here in Iowa, but there is no "popular vote" total here.

So we're not even included in any such total.

I do happen to have something like "popular vote" totals for my own precinct, but that's only because I took a photograph of the whiteboard before I left the caucus.

Somebody would have to search the internet for such photographs to get such a number. And there are probably many precincts where no such photograph exists.

6. Hi Polly..

There is a lot more disenfranchisement going on in Caucuses which Bernie wins. Shenanigans too. This is not a close race. She is winning 3x more than Obama was in 2008.

8. Hi fun.

Thanks for the polite reply. I disagree, but

11. WA State for example..

There are almost 6 million registered voters in WA.. only 230,000 people voted in the caucuses.
