Glenn, San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties are now Sanders'



COUNT EVERY VOTE!!

[HerbChestnut]

1. Wow...

Just when I thought this election couldn't get any weirder...

[SCantiGOP]

24. BREAKING NEWS:

Over 5 million missing Sanders votes found on Clinton's email server

[enid602]

36. SARCASM

Actually Barbara Boxer, Elizabeth Warren, Barney Frank and Dolores Huerta (all wearing 'I'm With Her' Tee shirts) were found falsifying ballots. Chelsea was supposed to be the lookout in the hallway, but she had to cancel at the last minute, so she could meet with Ivanlka Trump for a toenail painting party.

2. kick

[SCantiGOP]

33. Posted elsewhere on DU:

Clinton's lead has grown about 36,000 votes as a result of this continued count.

[Mr Maru]

46. ha ha. More votes equals even more winning for Hillary!

[KingFlorez]

3. Careful not to contradict the Sanders logic

You all are saying that votes are not being counted and now you are posting that counties are flipping. This post kills the argument that Sanders votes are being dumped.

[AzDar]

6. Actually, over 1 MILLION have been 'invalidated'... More than 2 Million still uncounted.

Hope you aren't CHEERING Election Fraud?

[oberliner]

8. That's a lie

There is nothing at that link about any ballots being "invalidated", let alone a million.

[still_one]

28. All ballots are counted in California, including provisional ballots, no matter what the

margin. If it is a mail in ballot, as long as it is post marked on or before election day, and arrives at the county office within three days after the election it is counted.

All ballots are counted, including provisional ballots after election officials have confirmed that the voter is registered to vote in that county, and that they did not already vote in that election.

You may vote a provisional ballot at any polling place in the county in which you are registered to vote, however, only the elections contests you are eligible to vote for will be counted.

The status of a provisional ballot can be checked here:

[KingFlorez]

9. Not every vote is valid

And if you are naive enough to believe that every invalidated vote was for Sanders, you need to reevaluate your logic. It's pretty improbable that every invalidated ballot even relates to the presidential race, since there were hundreds of other offices on the ballot all across the state.

[still_one]

30. That is absolutely correct. If they are not registered to vote, have already voted

and other reasons.

The claim that "one million ballots were invalidated", I need to see an actual report from the SOS, and I sure haven't seen that, nor have I seen any reputable media source state that. Social media on the other hand has been spewing all kind of misrepresentations and lies

[ContinentalOp]

14. The word "invalidated" appears nowhere in that link

Where's your evidence for this outlandish claim that a million votes were invalidated?

[onenote]

16. The claim that 1 million votes have been invalidated has been debunked.

[still_one]

31. Thank you. I am so tired of these "social media" claims that are assumed to be fact

when they are not.

California is one of the most open an accessible and flexible states for voting in the nation

[Ace Rothstein]

44. Once the story gets passed around, it becomes the truth to many.

We'll be hearing about these 1 million invalidated votes for the next decade now.

[ehrnst]

45. Thank you for the data. However, data doesn't matter to the true believer. (nt)

[Mr Maru]

47. Got that right! nt

[ehrnst]

40. Not seeing where they were invalidated, according to the link.

And the uncounted votes are mail-in. Where's the fraud?

[Retrograde]

4. That's nice

Delegates are awarded by Congressional district, and are proportional to the overall vote in that district.

Results are reported by county because that's who run the elections, but Congressional districts can cross counties.

[onenote]

18. Clinton leads in 50 out of 53 Districts.

[Dem2]

5. Seems the difference is up to 475,000 votes now.

What's the point of this post? Are a couple of delegates meaningful now?

[Night Watchman]

12. Santa Claus Just Endorsed Bernie!

[aligzanduh]

15. Yes every vote matters

The larger the movement the larger the movement. We would have won if we were not handicapped in every possible way.

[justiceischeap]

19. Yes, rules suck and not knowing the rules sucks even worse

It's been made clear the majority of the problems the Sanders campaign encountered was because they weren't aware of Democratic Primary state rules.

[ehrnst]

41. Thank you. I am so sick of hearing about how simple rules and deadlines

are now considered 'handicaps."

[Dem2]

21. Signed up just to make this lame excuse?

Welcome to DU!

[RobertEarl]

22. Good to be king, eh?

The Powers That Be - PTB- will not easily relinquish power. They understand there is much power in the vote, so they do what they can to have the votes go their way.

[ehrnst]

42. You mean the employees at the county and state? Who make sure that the rules that have been in place

for years are being followed, and some people can't be bothered to go to a website to find out how to vote in a primary?

That sounds like a tea partier who thought ACORN gave Obama the election.

[panader0]

27. Welcome to DU.

You joined at a very contentious time here. And come the 16th, well, we'll wait and see....

[cstanleytech]

35. You are new to the DU so who is this "we" that would have won and that was handicapped and how

were "you" handicapped?

[ehrnst]

43. Yeah. That's it. Totally. And ACORN is out there somewhere working for Hillary now... (nt)

[Stallion]

7. Yet He's Fallen Behind By More Votes Each of Last 2 Days

Its not happening

[Grassy Knoll]

10. 12.4 % is Still.....

[grossproffit]

11. Today was the cutoff date for mail in votes to arrive.

[still_one]

32. yup, and May 23rd was the last day to register to vote in the June 7th primary,

and while some here were jumping up and down about lawsuits being filed because they considered the classification of NPP(No Party Preference), too confusing; all they had to do was re-register to vote as a Democrat, and they would have received a Democratic ballot. They could have done that registration multiple ways, including online at the library.

All this information was clearly stated in the voter pamphlet that every registered voter receives, and at the California SOS website

[DCBob]

17. Its still 56-43.

[MineralMan]

25. Hmm...56-43 = 13

A double digit lead, with a bit to spare, it seems.

Double digits in California. Double digits nationwide in November.

Hillary 2016!

[beachbum bob]

20. at this point none of this matters but if you want to look at the numbers

of the 2.2 million unprocessed ballots to count...over 1.6 million are mail in and these will favor hillary at least 60-40....so her lead will keep expanding.

http://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/statewide-elections/2016-primary/unprocessed-ballots-report.pdf

a resounding victory by hillary over sanders who spent nearly a month and millions of dollars to lose this by a huge margin....

[MineralMan]

23. In Election Math, 2+2 = 11 or 2+2 = 10.

It's all depends on what the Base is, you see. The Democratic Base is either 3 or 4, depending on who you ask. But, the number always add up to something, I've learned.

[annavictorious]

26. But Sanders still loses by 500,000 votes.

It's great that he got <1200 provisional ballot votes added to his tally. It takes the sting out of the +12% loss.

[Tarc]

29. I'm beginning to feel a bit of pity here

Glenn: 1,003 - 910
San Luis Obispo: 21,333 - 20,379
Santa Barbara: 27,427 - 27,319

Congrats on a whopping +1,155.

[alcibiades_mystery]

37. 30,000 people at some rally. That's A LOT. Sanders is down by 470,000 votes. That's NOTHING!

It's sad to watch people feed their own delusions.

[alcibiades_mystery]

34. Clinton lost SLO and SB by 8 in 2008

[Zynx]

38. Count every vote indeed, but her overall margin in the state actually increased.

Those were always expected to be her weakest counties south of SF and it was a surprise when she was ahead in them in the first place.

[seabeyond]

39. They have every intention of counting every vote. Clinton's lead increases. It was known Calif takes

time.

[GreatGazoo]

48. "Inconceivable !"
