In a caucus, its majority rules to win the caucus vote. Who knows how many people voted for a candidate to make up the majority for the caucus. Its certainly at least two to make up a majority!
Her argument is so disengenous and an out and out lie!!!!

We don't need more liars in the whitehouse who will do anything to win!

1. Caucus states keep track of their voters.
All but four caucus states have released their popular vote totals.

3. Exactly...four states haven't released their totals.

Not only that, but caucuses also rely on viability, so even the final tally is not an indication of a vote.

Caucuses and Primaries are different animals.

8. But the networks and campaigns know how many were there and
how the votes were cast in each precinct.

Saying that they aren't counted is just plain wrong.

6. and not to be a stickler, but HRC doesn't have the popular vote by any calculation...
the statements from her camp are nothing more than propaganda...
and we know what happens to this country with the sucess of a propaganda campaign...disaster.
It will not work...

5. The popular vote is for people who don't have a clue how a primary works.

7. Since they changed the rules as it relates to MI and FL
Could the petion the four states to change their rules and release the number of voters?

I guess it wouldn't matter since Hillary didn't win those states, it's clear they don't matter
Sorry I keep forgetting the rules
