Networks, newspapers and pundits have included superdelegates in their tallies, but the DNC said that was wrong over a month ago.
excerpt:
CNN estimates that Clinton has 2,311 pledged delegates, while Sanders only has 1,542 — but this method of counting is not sanctioned by the DNC.
We must ask ourselves this question — if the Democratic Party asked CNN and other networks not to include these superdelegates, and made it abundantly clear that they are not official until the superdelegates actually vote at the Democratic Convention in late July, why are they including them anyway?
Look at that graphic. It has Clinton a mere 72 delegates away from securing the nomination and places her with what appears to be an insurmountable lead against Sanders — except it’s all based on something the networks were told not to do.
Chris Matthews, of MSNBC’s Hardball, took it a step further last week when he actually went on air to declare that no matter what happened, NBC and other networks were preparing to declare Hillary Clinton the Democratic nominee for President on June 7th — in spite of the reality that she will not yet have enough pledged delegates to meet the required 2,383.
Hillary Clinton does not have 2,311 delegates, as shown by CNN. That tally, in spite of being told by the Democratic Party not to include them, includes over 500 superdelegates. Again, those people have not yet voted, and in the words of the DNC’s own communications director, are “likely to change their mind.”
Hillary Clinton, according to the Associated Press, actually has 1,769 delegates, and Bernie Sanders has 1,499, with 913 delegates still available from the upcoming primaries on June 7th and June 14th. To cross the 2,383 threshold required to secure the nomination, Hillary Clinton needs 614 more delegates. That means she needs to win 67.2% of the remaining delegates to become the nominee — not the outrageous number of 72 that CNN and other networks are showing.

because a lot of misinformation is floating around social media, claiming hillary clinton only needs a few more delegates, we thought you should read the actual numbers and actual math, PER THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITEE’S OWN RULES. a good summation of the issues and the lies and propaganda, some of it publically and blatantly planned! thanks again to the wonderfully concise shaun king!
