1. Numbers Wrong

Real clear politics shows Bernie only winning 2,231 in the popular vote in Maine at your link. That's strange because 46,000 people participated and he won the vote 2 to 1. I wonder what other numbers are wrong?

Party leaders say 46,000 people participated, which is a record. Sen. Bernie Sanders is the projected winner

2. 2,231 is the number of Sanders delegates elected to the next round of voting...not the popular vote.

3. I know it's not the popular vote

So why do they have it listed on a chart that says Popular Vote?

4. Because that supports the "none of Bernie's wins count" meme.

n/t.

5. Exactly

I wouldn't use Real Clear Politics numbers anyways. They are a Republican site.

6. There is no popular vote

They might report it, but it's not really a thing. Some states don't even report vote totals.
