Only delegate counts are released, not the actual popular vote.
Who would have won if votes had been counted, like on the Republican side?

Definitely Sanders, little doubt in my mind.

Mrs. Clinton, definitely. Sanderistas just can't accept that they lost, just like their comrades still can't accept that they lost the Cold War.

Sanders. It takes longer to count the vote in a caucus in precincts where there is higher turnout. As a result they report later. So generally in a caucus, whoever goes up in the later returns is doing better in the high turnout caucuses with more of a popular vote.

Voter fraud claims, as they always are, are more or less baseless. There's no reason to cry foul play except for being a sore loser and realistically the Sanders people should be pretty pleased with their performance considering the polls and the odds leading up to the caucus.

No idea. With the vagueness of the caucus system and the closeness of the final reported results, who knows? Gut reaction still says Hillary. Not sure though.

Anti-Hillary people really shouldn't be talking about popular vote after what happened to her in 08...

Anyway, there's no way to know, so this thread is pointless. It's like asking what the REAL results in North Korea or Belarus were.

Obama wasn't on the Michigan ballot in 2008, and they didn't report the popular vote in the caucuses Obama won.

Clinton, the networks have access to the popular vote and on TV I saw Hillary had something like a 200 vote lead (with 99% in).

No, the media doesn't have access to the popular vote on the Democratic side.  Only the Iowa Democratic Party might.  What you likely saw was the state delegate equivalent numbers times 100, which is what some in the media were reporting as results.

Oh, well sorry then, don't let my ignorance bother you...

Not everyone who supports Sanders is a generic "anti-Hillary" person. Also Obama won the caucuses so in reality he probably did win the popular vote, not that I really care either way.

Anyway, I think that more people preferred Clinton, but Sanders probably won once you add the O'Malley people to his side. I don't think there was "foul play"; it's just an inherent problem with how the Democratic caucus works.

I believe he means Clinton winning the popular vote over Obama overall.
