Under the rules for the Democratic Party, delegates are awarded proportionately. This silly but ignorant poll has Sanders winning 100% of the delegates in most states

The only way that a candidate can win 100% of the delegates in a state is if no other candidate gets 15% either in a district or statewide. The idiots who did this mock election do not understand the rules of the Democratic Primary

They been running this mock election since Jimmy Carter was elected and have been right every time. I don't care if they're using a tea leaves and a ouija board as long as they're their accurate. And WIU's mock election certainly is.
