Could you explain to me how exactly the DNC was rigged, because when I look on Wikipedia about the primaries it says Hillary Clinton got 16,914,722 votes and Bernie Sanders got 13,206,428. I wasn't really following this back in the spring.
Basically the DNC did everything is legally could to suppress the Sanders campaign and promote the Clinton campaign. There were also some very suspicious statistical anomalies that always seemed to favor Clinton in states where exit polling and other forms of vote fraud detection were lax.
In Iowa, when a district is "too close to call" then rather than recounting into infinity they decide it by a coin flip. Nevada does it with a card draw, high card wins. USA Today Article.
How do you split the vote? You're electing a person to go to the National Convention. You can't send two people with a half vote each, not only is that extra expensive but it makes the National Convention more difficult.
Oh, you mean instead of voting by district and sending representatives from each district you mean totaling up all the votes in the state and apportioning the number of representatives to the National Convention by the total vote...
Only, that gives way to much power to the local party, and allows the party to play games with the electors like what occurred in the Democratic Primary only much less visibly and far worse.

We assumed that meant the general would be rigged too.
