Question about popular vote calculation

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027730604

I posted this in GD, but reposting here, because I'm really not sure where it belongs.

Something flew by in the media about caucuses and popular vote, so I googled it and found this from 2008.

SOME states using caucuses do NOT record vote totals, and thus certify no votes (so neither candidate wins any popular votes in those states, just the delegates as apportioned by the archaic caucus system).

Does anyone know which state this year are not recording total votes?

About floppyboo

Let me get this out of the way first: I am a Canadian. Half Canadienne, Half Norwegian. I am a woman. I endeavor to keep my posts objective. My slant is definitely towards a democracy that works on a meritocracy that is based, ideally, on a starting point of a level playing ground and a fair kick at the can, no matter your passion, so long as it embodies fairness and justice to all the peoples of the earth, and of course, to mother earth herself. Thank you for helping me learn more through the dialogue here on DU.
