Sanders's Tuesday appearance with California delegates — where his backers broke out in chants of support — put him face-to-face with leadership from the Bernie Delegates Network.
|
|
The truth is no candidate—not Hillary Clinton, not Bernie Sanders—will receive the number of pledged delegates, that is, the real delegates that people vote for.
|
|
Instead, every Democratic contest allocates delegates proportionally — meaning the only way to rack up a lot more pledged delegates than your rival is by winning big victories.
|
|
In many cases, delegates are free to choose any candidate after the first ballot, making it more imperative that candidates lock up the individual loyalties of delegates.
|
|
Below, I outline the five most likely scenarios to play out on Super Tuesday, with a special focus on California (21 delegates) and Texas (2200 delegates). 215.
|

If a candidate drops out of the race after winning state-wide delegates, their sate-level at-large pledged delegates are redistributed among the remaining viable candidates.

Any candidates who receive less than 15 percent of the vote in a state receive no statewide delegates; the same applies for the delegates awarded by district.

|
|
His sweep extended his lead over Sanders to roughly 230 delegates in the chase for the 1,991 delegates needed to clinch the nomination at July's Democratic convention.

|
|
There are 172 delegates at stake there, and 159 of them will be allotted winner-take-all on the congressional district level (three delegates in each of the state's 53 districts) — which means that broad strength across the state will be necessary to pick up most of its delegates.
|
