Hillary ‘Winning’ More Delegates Than Sanders Proves the Election Is Rigged

Ask anyone who has decided not to vote in the upcoming elections why they have chosen to disengage and the answer usually boils down to the belief that our votes don’t matter.

After the popular vote was won by Al Gore in the 2000 election, and George W. Bush was nonetheless appointed to the presidency, many came to see the democratic voting process as more symbolic than anything. The powerful, many have concluded, will determine the outcome of the election, based on two candidates that they find acceptable for us to select. If another should win instead, some strange technicalities will give things to whoever mostly closely reinforces the establishment.

A strange result of the Iowa caucuses was the fact that in six Democratic counties, the ownership of six delegates was decided by a coin flip.

There was a single delegate that remained unassigned by the end of caucusing in two precincts. One was in Des Moines, one was in Ames, one in Newton, one in West Branch and one in Davenport, according to the The Des Moines Register.

In all six instances, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won the coin toss, over Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.

There’s only one problem… Statistically, it is nearly certain that Hillary could not have won all six coin tosses.

With a single coin toss, the probability of correctly calling the coin side is 50 percent, meaning one in two.

But in order to win all six? That’s a 1 in 64 chance, or 1.56%.

The online “Coin Toss Probability Calculator” breaks down the formula explaining this.

But it all boils down to the fact that statistically speaking, there is no way the six coin tosses were legitimate.

Now, even though Bernie Sanders won the New Hampshire primary in a landslide over Hillary Clinton last night, he is said to likely receive fewer delegates than she will.

Sanders had taken 60% of the vote, but the Democratic Party’s nominating system says that he will leave the state with at least 13 delegates while she leaves with at least 15 delegates.

Here’s what’s going on: New Hampshire has 24 “pledged” delegates, which are assigned based on the popular vote. Sanders has 13 of them, and Clinton has 9 of them. Two of them are not assigned to either.

But the Democratic National Committee rules state that New Hampshire also has 8 “superdelegates,” and party officials are free to commit to whomever they like. This can be done in contradiction to the popular vote – as it was last night.

Do you think this was rigged to try to screw ‪Bernie Sanders‬ out of the nomination?
