2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Hillary leads Bernie by only 235 - There are 1,400 still up for grabs [View all]
Hillary has garnered approximately 235 more pledged delegate votes from primaries and caucuses than Bernie has (1,443 to 1,208).
But a third of the total pledged delegates haven't been taken yet. There are still another 1,400 pledged delegates available from the states and territories that haven't yet voted.
Anyone saying that it's impossible for Bernie to win the nomination isn't being honest.

Actually the info in the OP is incorrect, but we see similar (correct) info in the media every day.

Clinton is currently ahead by 241 delegates, not 235. I gave you the link to the accurate count.

Sorry, there were 500 less delegates in 2008 than this year. That would give Obama the equivalent..

The lead is 241. It will be up to about 275 by midnight Tuesday, with slightly over 1,000 to go.

You do understand that delegates are awarded proportionally? That is why it is even more

That's why turnout is so important. It's harder to hide votes when the numbers are massive.
