1. Thanks for sharing that site.

I like the webpage too. It shows almost all of Hillary's popular vote lead comes from red states. Bernie's beating her in the blue states. So we shall see. I am concerned about Hillary's electability given that trend and the general belief that she can't/won't carry the Independents.

2. In other words: MORE VOTERS prefer Hillary?

Is that the take-away?

[Cali_Democrat]

4. Yes. Hillary appears to be the candidate of the people at this point:

4,940,095 > 3,290,824

7. Just In the south which even Obama lost in the 2008 and 2012 elections to Republicans.

And she is losing in most of the "blue" states to Sanders.

10. So Democrats in the South don't count

Or do Dems in states outside the south count more? Or are you referring to red states only?

Do you have some sort of proprietary formula which calculates the value of each Democratic vote based on geographic area? And if you do, can be please send it to me and websites like The Green Papers, RCP, Politco etc?

That way we we can weight the popular vote totals based on your assigned value to each Democratic voter.

Thank you in advance.

14. It does count because Hillary does best with what is the base of the Democratic party

AA voters. Without AA (minority) Voters a Democrat won't be elected anywhere outside of Vermont and Massachusetts. So having primaries in the south allows our party's most reliable constituency to have voice in picking a nominee. By the way, while the AA vote is smaller in other states, without it, a Democrat has no chance in Ohio, Michigan, Pennslyvania, etc.

6. Correct. And large margins in the Republican South are most (tho' not all) of the difference.

That sound like a winning strategy in November to you?

3. So...more primary voters have cast their votes for Hillary?

Who knew?

Actually, I knew. I've been following the popular vote for a while. The pattern is clear, and it's echoed in her lead in the delegate count, too. Keep watching for updates. There will be new numbers on Wednesday.

5. I guess you didnt get the memo.. southern votes dont count.

[Lizzie Poppet]

8. Southern Democratic ones won't in the GE.

That's impossible to (rationally) deny...

9. They do count. Unfortunately most will go to the Republicans, the "red" states.

Do you really think Hilary if nominated will get more votes in the south than Obama, especially among Black voters?

11. We decide the nominee on delegates, not popular vote.

And caucuses don't rely on, or record, popular vote.

[DemocraticWing]

12. Without a reasonable distribution of states, the popular vote is meaningless.

This would be like stopping the general election at 7:30 PM and scream ROMNEY WINNING POPULAR VOTE because all of the south just came in first.

Your candidate might win the popular vote, delegate count, and everything else. Just hold your damn horses and be patient. Prematurely trying to beat victory into the heads of your opponents can only be gloating or an intentional attempt to demoralize your fellow Democrats.

13. Perhaps you didn't read my OP very carefully

I like this webpage. You can see the totals and it's constantly updated as the primary results come in.

The totals will be constantly updated throughout the primary process.

It's not being stopped.

Please read the OP more carefully before replying.

Thank you in advance.

15. Well, we'll just have to throw this link under the bus until the numbers change in BS favor!
