01) Colorado Democratic Party “Accidentally” Cheated Bernie Sanders
“Hot on the heels of the Republican situation in Colorado where Trump got more votes but Cruz took the state, we’re now learning that the Democratic establishment made some “mistakes” there as well. The party establishment took one of Bernie’s delegates and sent it to Hillary. They later called the Clinton campaign to advise them of the situation. They never called the Sanders campaign. He learned about it from a reporter. Ana Kasparian, John Iadarola (ThinkTank), and Jimmy Dore, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Bernie Sanders easily won the Colorado caucus in March, but a mistake made by the Democratic Party awarded the Vermont senator one less delegate than he actually earned – and the party didn’t bother telling the Sanders campaign about the error…
Originally, it was projected that Sanders – who won the Democratic caucus against Hillary Clinton by a tally of 60 percent to 40 percent – would earn 38 delegates compared to Clinton’s 28. After tallying Clinton’s support from 10 Colorado superdelegates, the former secretary of state tied Sanders 38-38 in delegates. If she won the support of the last two state superdelegates, Clinton could have actually won Colorado despite losing the primary vote by 20 points…
The counting error was discovered by the Democrats about a week after the caucus, the Denver Post reported, yet the party did not announce the news to the public or the Sanders campaign. The only people it did inform were in the Clinton camp. The website featuring party results still shows the old, incorrect tallies from Denver County.”*
