9 of the 12 most populous states have voted

and Hillary has now won them 8 to 1. She got double digit wins in TX, FL, GA, VA, NC, and NY. She won by high single digits in Ohio. IL was a narrow win with MI a narrow loss. By any standard that is impressive. She isn't ahead because of some conspiracy or because of conservative voters. she is ahead because she is winning the states that actually have people in them.

The 2010 reapportionment really hurt white-heavy campaigns.

In my state, for instance, we are down to 3 Democratic districts (out of 13) and two of those are very heavily African American while the third is likely about 1/3 African American. She beat Sanders badly in the first two whilResue he and she about tied in the third. Result, she won big both in percent and in delegates.
