(3,473 posts)If you say so, but, here is the math for Super Saturday ... pledged delegates only, not including Super Delegates.
Clinton
KS - 10, NE - 10, LA - 39 .... Total 59
Sanders:
KS - 23, NE - 15, LA - 12 .... Total 50
So, after Super Saturday, Clinton extended her lead by 9 delegates. Not sure how you make that a Sanders win.

Although I have to say winning two of three state primaries can be presented as a win.

The number of states won doesn't matter ... the number of delegates do. You could technically win one state by a lot of delegates and lose every other state by just one delegate each and still be the winner. And being that Sanders won fewer delegates than Clinton yesterday, the only way can paint him a winner is by spinning it.

(4,234 posts)Beth Clarkson, who has been trying to count the paper copes of the votes from the 2014 results in Sedgwick County in KS, has sent an open letter to Bernie, asking him to press to audit the vote totals in those states where such is possible. As she sees it, and I do too, it's not really possible for Bernie to win the primaries in particular unless he has a fair count. In the KS primary, the vote was entirely handled on paper, and the signatures were counted. No problem.
How was the vote in LA counted? How was the vote in MA counted? MA BTW has paper for every vote and so could have been easily verified if Bernie had pressed for something to be done. It's not possible to be sure of the results when the machines are used to count the votes UNLESS THE RESULT IS VERIFIED.
Here's a DU posting that includes Beth's Open Letter to Bernie. What she suggests is what I thought would happen, i.e., that the results in key states using electronic voting machines to count the vote would be close and the results in every case, tho close, would in every case be in favor of HRC. The machines are capable of delivering any percentage tilt desired and I believe it's happening regularly now and has been happening for at least the last ten years. Here's the post:
