129. If all 50 states had open primaries only and divided their delegates the exact same way
Edited on Wed May-28-08 04:44 PM by rocknation
You'd be somewhat right. However, the object of primaries and caucuses is not to get the most votes, but the most delegates which those votes generate. Unfortunately for Hillary:

Not all states have primaries
Not all states have open primaries
Some of the caucus states did not issue their vote totals
Puerto Rico will not be voting in the GE

The primary popular vote argument is therefore a total fraud.
