We'll never know the popular vote total Skink Apr 2016 #15

Then what are they basing the "2.5 million more votes" on? SHRED Apr 2016 #26

We know the exact number of voters in closed primaries. geek tragedy Apr 2016 #27

There is no "popular vote total" in the primaries. The very idea is a ploy to sway L.I.V.s. nt Romulox Apr 2016 #29

There will be no contested convention. geek tragedy Apr 2016 #28

Factually incorrect on its face (but then, what's new?) nt Romulox Apr 2016 #30
