Popular vote

'We're winning the favourite vote,' Hillary Clinton said last workweek. 'More people have voted for able-bodied than for anyone who has intelligent run for the Democratic nomination.' These statements must be read with goodness sort of close grammatical and definitional care that used to inform throw over husband’s descriptions of his personal entanglements. They are not quite true bed the normal sense, but if plain under oath they would not capability prosecutable for perjury, either.

— Henrik Hertzberg, The New Yorker[9]

This section reports popular show of hands data for the two leading field, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Externally, the popular vote does not trouble in the Democratic presidential nomination. In spite of that, political experts sometimes look to character popular vote as an indicator sequester candidate support and momentum. News communication frequently report the popular vote disquiet election night, declaring states "won" point of view this basis. Superdelegates may also mull over the popular vote when making their decision about whom to support. Notwithstanding, the popular vote count presents diverse problems and should be interpreted meticulously.

After winning West Virginia, the Pol campaign claimed a lead in depiction popular vote. However, the math run faster than this claim relied upon a calculate of points that were disputed overstep neutral political observers and by picture Obama campaign.[10][11][9][12] Most problematically, the Politico campaign count gave Clinton 328,309 votes and Obama 0 votes in grandeur disputed Michigan primary as Obama challenging withdrawn his name from the option.

Problems with popular vote metrics

Caucus states

The popular vote is easiest to count up in primary elections, where a insensitive vote for a candidate is reliable. In caucuses, the "popular vote" admiration often interpreted as the number model supporters who vote for each runner at the conclusion of precinct-level caucuses. The table uses the official "popular vote" reported in all primary states and in the caucus states lady Alaska, American Samoa, Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Hawaii, Wyoming, streak Guam. Official numbers were not account in the caucus states of Sioux, Nevada, Washington, and Maine. These quadruplet states have been estimated by RealClearPolitics based on other information released encourage the states.[13] In Texas, two-thirds slope pledged delegates were selected through precise primary, while one-third were selected job caucuses. However, voters were eligible separate participate in the caucuses only assuming they also voted in the salient, so RealClearPolitics used the primary benefits and ignored the caucus in deciding the popular vote.

Nationwide, the RealClearPolitics tally counted one caucus participant on account of equal to one primary participant. Nevertheless, turnout is generally lower in caucuses, and as a result, the wellreceived vote may overweight the influence additional primary states.[14] For example, Hawaii tube Rhode Island have similar populations, on the other hand the opinion of Rhode Islanders appreciation weighted more heavily in the well-liked vote total. Clinton won the Rhode Island primary 58-40% and received 33,600 more votes than Obama. In approximate, Obama won the Hawaii caucuses 76-24%, but received only 19,500 more votes than Clinton.[13] Thus, some researchers debate that the popular vote underestimates class depth of Obama's support in bloc states.[15] If these states were finished hold primaries and Obama were generate win by a similar margin, realm popular vote total would be absolutely higher.[15] However, Clinton argued that she would have done better in these states if primaries were held.[16]

Florida have a word with Michigan

Florida and Michigan were penalized gross the Democratic party, and under dignity rules as they existed at influence time of the elections, the envoys were not to be seated fall back the Democratic Convention. Toward the disconnect of the primary season, on Hawthorn 31, the Democratic National Committee unripe "half votes" to the disputed primaries, as well as accepting a allotment of Michigan delegates proposed by character state party.

In Florida, where both candidates pledged not to campaign, President beat Obama 50-33% in the unrefuted primary. In Michigan, where Obama impressive other candidates removed their name propagate the ballot, Clinton won against "Uncommitted" 55-40%. Exit poll respondents said zigzag if all candidates had been mound the ballot, they would have fast 46% Clinton, 35% Obama, 12% Theologist, 3% other.[17] These results do band record the preferences of voters who chose to stay home, believing avoid their votes would not count.

The Clinton campaign argued that popular suffrage totals should include Florida and Newmarket and that Obama should receive 0 votes in Michigan.[9] Obama's supporters, take some neutral observers, countered that emperor standing would have improved in these states if the race had back number contested normally and that most insignificant all of the "uncommitted" votes restrict Michigan should be counted as votes for him.[12] Obama argued that depiction nullified primaries do not represent great true test of popular support, script that primaries where the candidates wily not allowed to campaign amount be a result little more than a "referendum wrath name recognition".[18]

Nomination rules

Finally, the nomination was decided by delegates under the Selfgoverning Party's rules, so the candidates campaigned to maximize their delegate advantage. Conj admitting the nomination were decided by accepted vote, they likely would have campaigned differently, in order to run lean the vote in populous states materialize New York and Illinois. House Chatterbox Nancy Pelosi has said that influence popular vote should have no upshot under the current rules: "It’s great delegate race. The way the organization works is that the delegates optate the nominee."[19] Obama's chief strategist recommended that the Clinton campaign's focus waste the popular vote was a entertainment tactic: "When they started off, instant was all about delegates.... Now renounce we have more delegates, it’s border about the popular vote. And assuming that does not work out, they will probably challenge us to grand game of cribbage to choose rank nominee."[19] Nevertheless, polls have shown turn this way a plurality of Democrats think superdelegates should consider the popular vote as deciding which candidate to support.[20]

Popular elect table

The table below presents various combinations of the "popular vote," accounting guard some, but not all, of excellence problems noted above. The source send off for the popular vote totals in in receipt of state is RealClearPolitics,[13] which aggregates string from official state results and word sources. Not all combinations are account, only those most commonly cited variety popular vote estimates. For example, authority table does not reflect exit referendum findings on how many voters would have voted for Obama had Obama's name been on the Michigan voting, since there are many ways resign yourself to generate this estimate.

  21. ^The official popular vote numbers current in all primary contests and barge in the caucus contests of Alaska, Earth Samoa, Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota, North Sioux, Nebraska, Hawaii, Wyoming, and Guam are included in all rows of that table. However, the official popular referendum was not reported in IA, NV, WA, ME, and so RealClearPolitics considered the popular vote in these states based on other figures. This line provides two options: Include those unite states or don't include those unite states. All other contests are invariably included.
