I know Washington already has 78 delegates awarded do to their Feb. 9th caucuses, but what about their February 19th primary. Over 650,000 people voted. I think WA should send delegates to the DNC for those results too. WE CAN'T DISENFRANCHISE WASHINGTON VOTERS. They voted. The vote should be counted. While this should add a few delegates to Obama that isn't the point. We can't tell those hundreds of thousands of voters that their vote doesn't count. I hope Hillary supporters will join me in demanding Pledged Delegates based on that vote too.

Washington primary
Obama 50%
Hillary 47%

Award the 78 for the caucuses and an addition 78 for the primaries. You may say... the DNC didn't allocate for the 78 delegates based on those voters of the primary... well, screw the DNC. How dare they tell those 650,000 voters that they don't count.


Every vote should count. Ahhh...ahhh....snarkchooooo... :evilgrin:
