YEAH! And they don't vote in the Electoral College so who gives a crap, those delegates shouldn't even count anyways, not like MIFL should count. -- HRC

Wow...he won by 7 votes. Crazy.

Results of the all-night count completed Sunday morning Guam time show delegates pledged to Obama with 2,264 votes to 2,257 for Clinton's slate.

goes to show the power of the machine...

Hard Evidence of Voting Machine Addition Errors

"Princeton Professor, Ed Felton, has posted a series of blog entries in which he shows the printed tapes he obtained from the NJ voting machines don't report the ballots correctly. In response to the first one, Sequoia admitted that the machines had a known software design error that did not correctly record which kind of ballots were cast (republican or democratic primary ballots) but insisted the vote totals were correct. Then, further tapes showed this explanation to be insufficient. In response, State officials insisted that the (poorly printed) tapes were misread by Felton. Again further tapes showed this not to be a sufficient explanation. However all those did not foreclose the optimistic assessment that the errors were benign -- that is, the possibility that vote totals might really be correct even though the ballot totals were wrong and the origin of the errors had not been explained. Now he has found (well-printed) tapes that show what appears to be hard proof that it's the vote totals that are wrong, since two different readout methods don't agree. Sequoia has made trade-secret legal threats against those wishing to mount an independent examination of the equipment.

wonder if Guam qualifies for dubious results yet?:>)

OK so they split the delegates, big deal, Obama is still ahead, there are less and less primaries avialable for Hillary to catch up, meaning she would have to win then by bigger and bigger margins. Conclusion, Hillary can't catch, much less win.

Did the US Supreme Court deliver the Indiana Primary to Hillary Clinton?

Imagine Hillary Clinton's luck.
When she needed to win a primary in New Hampshire, the machines glitched up, and she emerged with an unexpected margin of victory. Whether it was due to electronic voting breakdowns is not clear. But there was never a a full recount or a thorough investigation of the serious problems that plagued the vote count in that state.

When she needed a victory in Ohio, Republican voters -- urged on by Rush Limbaugh -- crossed over in droves and helped give her one. Cross-over voting may also have been a factor in her critical victory in Pennsylvania. There were also numerous instances of computer tabulation glitches in the Pennsylvania secretary of state's office.

Now the Indiana primary looms ahead. Less than a week prior, the US Supreme Court has delivered a devastating decision on voter ID that could again make a big difference in Clinton's favor.

Bani, having to show your license to vote in no way could sway the vote for Hillary.

However, it might keep mischevious supporters of either candidate from voting two, three, or more times.

If these poor souls can produce an I.D. to cash a welfare or social security check then they can produce an I.D. to vote.

"And they both get 2 delegates either"

The caucus also selected 2 super delegates. There was a Clinton slate and an Obama slate. The Obama slate was selected so even though he and Hill tie on pledged delegates from Guam so count 2 more in the Obama column.

So are you implying that Obama voters don't have ID's?

I thought it was all Dem voters who don't want or have an ID?

400,000 votes "spoilt" - was Robert Mugabe in London on Thursday night?

When scores of ballot boxes were recently examined as part of the Zimbabwean elections, it was discovered that seals had been tampered with. So shocking was this discovery that the international media felt compelled to report upon it.

Hey, Guam is cool!! If you don't believe it, just go there and visit the Club Texas and the Club Dallas. Both are excellent examples of what "Dens of Debauchery" should be.
