Bernie was correct to be suspicious of a Dem counted vote
Republicans are famous for gerrymandering districts in advance of an election, in order to obtain a directed verdict, disguised as a popular vote.
Democrats are infamous for cheating and miscounting and lack of electoral transparency in order to obtain a directed verdict, disguised as a popular vote.
Rather like what we just saw in Iowa - a tradition of not releasing actual figures - and missing precinct returns.
For an example of the latter, see:
Chicago and Cook County Democratic Party Machine
A (locally famous) Chicago Sun-Times reporter wrote an interesting treatise on such filth, back in the late 60s or early 70s, when Da Machine was at its height, and at its very worst - a Must Read for PoliSci students back then - and still an amusing and useful guide to the fundamentals of a now better-disguised but still vibrant Machine of our present age...
A Democratic Party machine with roots at the turn of the 20th Century, and ruling a city of 3 millions virtually unchallenged since the days of Anton Cermak in the early 1930s.
A Democratic Party machine still very much alive and well, modified to fit the times, by King Richard's own son, Richard II, and Michael Bilandec, and Jane Byrne, and Harold Washington, and Rahm Emanuel, and stinking-up the Illinois political landscape to this very day.
A Democratic Party machine, so foul and corrupt, that every election has to be watched like a hawk, to soften the worst excesses of vote-fraud, and, yet, it still manages to muster enough sheeple - including gullible minority folk - to vote for them, to keep them in power, year after year, and sickening decade after decade.
A Democratic Party machine that has overseen Chicago's descent into Hell itself, as it has transformed into a shit-hole, and a free-form Living Target Shooting Range, in its festering ghettos, as its Ruling Class in City Hall soaks-up Gubmint contracts and lives the good life.
A perfect place for Obumble's former Chief of Staff to land a Mayor's slot, on his way out the White House door, eh?
Corruption and Democratic Party Machines are like corn flakes and milk - they belong together.
