IF ONE PERSON STAYED HOME BECAUSE THEY WERE TOLD THE VOTE WOULDNT COUNT THEN THE ELECTION IS INVALID... THATS IT!!!
We dont know who would have won michigan because there wasnt a legitimate way to know that.. polling has been off and if you think she would have carried the white racist vote.. remember that Jesse Jackson took Michigan convincingly just a few decades ago..
Actually, when you include Michigan according to the exit polling that was done in the state following the primary, Obama still wins the popular vote (although as I have pointed out, this is a meaningless metric). Exit polling accounts for the tens of thousands of write-in ballots cast for Obama, which were not counted because he did not file the paperwork necessary to obtain write-in votes. One would think that if the main goal should be to get all the votes counted, then one would use exit polling as the best method to determine shares of the vote in Michigan. I don't believe that Mr. Sanders approves of this method though. Apparently, it is irrational.
