8. Good point. They should do that.
Then again, Clark shouldn't claim that he won it, since it hasn't been certified yet.

The margin of victory was .42 percent, so it was very close. Less than a half of a percent and uncertified is mighty damned tight.

Yes, they should change it. They are not using this as a claim in the race, though, so you can take comfort in that; they say that they were very close.

It disturbs me when people whom I believe in distort things, even if it's a very light grey area.

By delegate count, however, they tied. Since the election is for delegates, by that definition, it means it's a tie. (Even with that flimsy argument, though, it's still head and shoulders above the excuse for the tax cut misrepresentation.)

You are right; we are wrong on this one. We are marginally wrong, but wrong nonetheless.
