Pet peeve: I wish people would stop saying Clinton is ahead by 2.4 or however many million votes. The “popular vote” is not a real thing when you have a mix of primaries and caucuses, some open and some closed, and some of which don’t report raw votes at all. Adding up the numbers is comparing apples and oranges. The closest thing we have to a fair measure of popular support is pledged delegates. That’s how we know Clinton is ahead and Sanders is behind.
