wow...by just 7 votes. I assume that a recount has to be in order. No mention of it in the article.

Not really. Turns out they wound up splitting delegates evenly. Dems have a really dumb primary system. No wonder no one can seal it.

Wow It's a good thing Guam isn't Florida

It is only a handful of delegates, but in this race of every delegate vote counts, I would demand a recount to be sure that the numbers are correct.

There were less that 5000 votes total. So if a recount found that they were 14 votes off and Hillary won by 7, that would change nothing. They still evenly split the 4 delegates at stake. The recount would need to give one of them a 500 vote advantage to change the delegate count at all.

If the count was off by over ten percent, they don't just need a recount, they need to convene a grand jury.

They said something about other territories. How many others do we have?

There are Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, US Virgin Islands, American Samoa and Midway. Also there are other tiny islands such as Howland, Baker, Palmyra, Johnston Island (these four plus Midway were part of Hawaii but separated from Hawaii as a condition of Hawaiian statehood), Kingman Reef, Jarvis Island, Petrel Islands and Wake. I may have missed a couple. Most of the latter named islands are uninhabited and used as military way stations. American Samoa has a curious situation in which its residents are considered to be American 'nationals' but not American citizens? Samoans have close ties with Hawaii.

And I hope if there is a recount, they find that he won by a larger margin! It's awfully strange that he led her by 6% at 95% of the vote counted...and then the last 5% she comes up to within 7 votes? Hard to believe! Nevertheless, as Hillary has said and would surely say, "A Win is a Win!"

Your so right Cushi. I can't wait to see Hillary downplay the win due to how close it was, totally backing down from her "A Win is a Win" statement when she wins a close one...

Some actually think Hillary won there were allot of "spoiled" ballots not counted from districts heavily favored by Clinton, Foul play by Obamabots is suspected this is according to a press release! There is also unexplained missing ballots! All from the party that Wants all the votes counted (as long as they are votes for them)!

I didn't find the original document I read, but here this ones close. Read and Enjoy! By the way 500 spoiled ballots is 10% which is INCREDIBLE! Plus most of these were from Dededo which Hillary got 61% of the vote in! The percentage of spoiled in Dededo may be double or even triple that 10%!

Oh please. Any good corrupt Chicago politician can "dig up" a 7 vote lead. He is clearly losing support since his remarks about the bitter middle class clinging to their guns, and God, and his filp-floping, and throwing Uncle Jeremiah under the bus.

You mean like a corrupt Florida politician, me thinks.

it sucks that he is losing votes for those comments because they are true and accurate comments, i know, i was raised in pennsylvania. there a bunch of bitter people and they proved it when he made the comment, it wasnt the fact that he said that that hurt him, it was the fact that he didnt get raised there and they couldnt let soem outsider make a statement like that

This is a major shocker. For one thing, I didn't even realize there were more than 7 people in Guam. ;-(

No the delegates do not count, and I don't think the votes do either.

Anyone who votes for Obama now needs serious psychological help. His best friend is a Racist priest. He hangs out with crooks and a non repentant terrorist and is supported by Hamas. Obama has terrible judgement when it comes to people. He's the last person I'd want involved in diplomacy.

Where the hell is Colin Powell when the country needs him?
