Reply #19: More math on the popular vote totals

[phrigndumass]

It's unfair to add vote totals for caucuses with vote totals for primaries, because they are different from each other. Only 735,000 votes have been tallied for caucuses, while over 25 million votes have been tallied for primaries.

So to separate them out:

POPULAR VOTE TOTALS

Primaries only (Status Quo) as of March 9:
Barack Obama – 12,533,944
Hillary Clinton – 12,150,484

Caucuses only (Status Quo) as of March 9:
Barack Obama – 471,170
Hillary Clinton – 264,302
(IA,NV,AK,AS,CO,ID,KS,MN,NM,ND,NE,VI,WA*,ME,HI,TX*,WY,Guam)

Some like to add these two groups together to get a "Total Popular Vote."
