McAuliffe: Hillary Is Winning Popular Vote Without Michigan
Here's Terry McAuliffe on MSNBC this morning, making the Clinton camp's latest case -- that she's winning the popular vote even if you take Michigan out of the equation...
Here's what McAuliffe said:
Today, Mike, we are ahead by 257,000 votes. The difference in Michigan, as you know, was 238,000. So today you can even take Michigan out of it and Hillary's ahead in the votes.
This is actually not true. McAuliffe's latest estimate doesn't include the estimated vote counts in the caucus states of Iowa, Nevada, Maine, and Washington State. If you look at Real Clear Politics' popular vote count, not including Michigan, but including Florida and the aforementioned caucus states, you get:
Obama: 17,723,200Clinton: 17,588,454
That puts Obama up 134,746 -- without Michigan, but including the aforementioned caucus states. And the results in South Dakota and Montana tomorrow could further shift these numbers.
