Her ballots were green and his were blue and she had MORE! If he only had the green he would have won.

Bill blocked all the Sanders voters from getting into the polling places

Bill pressured citizens to vote for Hillary outside the polling place so naturally they just did whatever he said.

They show Hillary winning 6 out of 7 pledged delegates. Sanders wins one with only 12.3% of the vote. Is that true?

There are 5 super delegates available. Two have committed to Hillary, none to Sanders and three haven't committed.

So total delegates out of 12 available are: Hillary - 8; Sanders -1; 3 still up for grabs.

The party said Clinton won 84.2 percent of the vote, while Bernie Sanders earned 12.2 percent. Under Democratic National Committee rules, a candidate must win at least 15 percent of the vote to be eligible to receive delegates.


People were excited and overjoyed when Bill Clinton came to visit," said Cecil R. Benjamin, who chairs the party there. He noted that in addition to the seven pledged delegates, all four of the Virgin Islands' superdelegates are now backing Clinton. Superedelegates are party officials who can back any candidate.

"We are the only state or U.S. territory where she got 100 percent of the delegates," he said, citing in part the large voter turnout. "It was great, and we are ready for the national convention
."

I can't wait until they call New Jersey for Hillary! The media will finally start calling her the presumptive nominee. The Supers that are holding out are going to start declaring for her. I hope that the President endorses her after the D.C. primary!
