The night before the California primary the media announced that the race had already been won – by Hillary Clinton, but, as Bernie Sanders’spokesman Michael Briggs declared “Hillary Clinton does not have and will not have the requisite number of pledged delegates to secure the nomination. She will be dependent on superdelegates who do not vote until July 25 and who can change their minds between now and then. They include more than 400 superdelegates who endorsed Secretary Clinton 10 months before the first caucuses and primaries and long before any other candidate was in the race. Our job from now until the convention is to convince those superdelegates that Bernie is by far the strongest candidate against Donald Trump.”
After the California primary Bernie Sanders supporters have flooded social media with reports of voter suppression, organized chaos and election fraud in the California primary amid a total media blackout. On Twitter, many voters reported showing up to their polling sites only to find that their names were mysteriously missing from the voting rolls, leaving them to cast a provisional ballot and fear their voices had been suppressed.
On Thursday, California Secretary of State Alex Padilla admitted at least 2 million votes cast in California’s presidential primary election have yet to be counted. So far Hillary Clinton is leading Bernie Sanders by 440,000 votes, but as Sanders said in a rally, the final result of the California primary is not official yet.
