Some Caucus States are not included in the current Popular Vote total. What does this mean? |

TOTAL VOTES CAST
Clinton: 50.2% (7,347,971)
Obama: 49.8% (7,294,851)
*
The difference in votes is apparently 53,120. But looks can be deceiving.
The rest of the story....
Many of the States held Caucuses on Super Tuesday. These Caucus results represented local delegates, not popular vote. They are not being included in the popular vote total as reported. Kansas, Colorado, Idaho, etc. all held Caucuses, and they all fell to Obama by a wide margin.
What does that tell you about who won the Popular Vote?
