| Popular vote in Michigan? |
|
As we all know Hillary has no chance at this point to win in the delegate math; she has been claiming that she has the popular vote if you count Michigan (where Obama wasn’t on the ballot) and not count caucus states.
After today, can she still claim this in Michigan?

| 2. Well, if they are counting at least those 240K votes, then no she is not ahead |
|
But nobody specifically mentioned what the popular vote would be if it would be anything?

the popular vote is an illegitimate metric for the nomination in the first place. It's only value is for persuading supers to support her, and the legitimacy of the contest has nothing to do with that argument.
It won't work, but what happened today doesn't change the argument.
