Take another look.
Hillary Clinton maintains that she is the rightful nominee of the Democratic Party.
She bases this claim on the premise that she is the popular vote leader.
Is she the popular vote leader and if she is should we use the popular vote as the measure of the party's will?
Let's look at the numbers; according to Real Clear Politics Obama has 17,596,239 popular votes, while Hillary Clinton has 17,650,671 popular votes. Therefore Clinton has 54,432 vote margin and a claim on the nomination basis on winning the popular vote.

How can Obama supporters deny Hillary the nomination if she has won more votes without being anti-democratic?
There are two basic reasons for rejecting the popular vote as the measure of party will. If either if these arguments for rejecting Hillary's claim is true then Hillary's claim to "more popular votes" as the reason she is the rightful winner of the nomination is false.
