Totals from both Caucus & Primaries:

The majority of Popular Votes were in the 23 Clinton States

Just my personal opinion about Caucuses:

*Caucuses aren't a true reflection of the voting preferences for an entire state
*Caucuses are unable to sustain the record-breaking amount of voters in this day and age, creating chaos, confusion, mistakes, & fraud
*Caucuses disenfranchise a great many people

^^ these folks are the backbone and the majority of the Democratic Party

Caucuses are a thing of the past and have no place in the 21st Century
