Crosspost: Debunking Hillary's Specious Winning the Popular Vote Claim [View all]

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1948469

I think this is really important for all of us to get the word out. When Hillary and camp falsely claim that she has 3M more votes, it's a lie. They are not including the total amount of votes from the caucus states - of which Bernie has won the majority and of which, like WA state, he has won by large margins. So this whole "she's winning the popular vote" is a load of crap. And even if she is, it isn't by much! This is just another way for her camp and the the Democrats to try and get him to drop out.

I posted it on twitter and will probably do the same on FB.
