UPDATE: The Oregon Primary Strikes Back!

(snip)

THE REAL NUMBERS
of the Oregon Primary

Behold! I have discovered the true numbers — and no one is reporting them! Google’s primary results and the Guardian’s primary tracker (both of which receive their numbers from the Associated Press) both show that Bernie Sanders has won 320,746, out of 572,485 total votes. Both of them also show that Sanders, so far, has 56.0% of the vote. The Guardian says 95.5% of the vote is in and Google has rounded that up to 96%. I am writing you today to tell you that they are both full of — um, well — let’s just say that they’re lying!

According to the Guardian, all counties have 100% of precincts reporting, except for Multnomah County (which has the largest population), which they report with only 77.7% of precincts reporting — but remember:

We don’t have precincts.

The Oregon BoE confirmed for me that, indeed, Multnomah county has quite a bit of counting left to do. And, according to Multnomah County Elections Divisions, they have so far confirmed that they’ve received:

185,723 out of 269,994 ballots sent out — and counting!

On the morning of the 18th,
at 9:37am there were 154,110 democratic ballots received.
At 3:38pm there were 163,257 received.
At 7:19pm there were 174,050 received.

Today, at 3:39pm there were 185,723 democratic ballots received — and counting.

This is looking good for us! We need to work HARDER than ever now! They are trying to wear us down, get us dejected, and cause us to give up at the very moment we need to pour on the heat to finish up! May is looking to still be a great month for Bernie! Continue to donate! Continue to make calls! Continue to volunteer! We still CAN do this!

of Bernie's defeat in many states, MA, KY, DE, AZ, and NY, to name a few.

If the primary had counted the votes fairly and allowed the people to vote who were legal voters, Bernie would be winning the primary by about 60% to 40%.

Of course with some voting machines it's impossible to know what the vote actually is and in others, while it's possible to have a recount or audit, it's just never done. In other words, the vote so far is almost totally unverifiable, and if the vote could be verified, it would be found that Bernie has won about 60% of the overall vote.

This is my opinion, but there's no way to prove me wrong since the vote is either unverifiable or is never verified though it would be possible to verify it. MA, for example, uses opti-scans and still has the paper ballots that are the real paper ballots used by the voters to vote. These ballots could be hand-counted. And there is good reason to suspect that the totals in MA are erroneous.

The entire primary is a smoke and mirrors game.
