In reply to the discussion: Why Clinton’s Claim Of Having 3 Million More Votes Than Sanders Is A Total Lie [View all]onenote
(45,981 posts)Shaun King could have figured out the popular vote totals in the caucus states if he wanted to. But he's either too lazy or he realized that if he did, it would kill his argument. So he just decided to peddle some stupid. Stupid as in suggesting, implicitly, that Bernie's total should include 71 percent of the 7 million people in Washington state, notwithstanding the fact that a whole lot of those people (a) aren't of voting age; (b) are Republicans; (c) didn't participate in the caucus.
But hey, if all of the folks living in Washington should be factored into the popular vote total, let's do it for all the states. There are 19.75 million people living in New York. Let's give 57.5 percent of them to Clinton -- that increases her margin over Sanders by around 5 million to over 8 million.
Anyway, here is a link to a thread containing some links that will give you fact-based estimates of the votes associated with the various caucus states.
