Questions about the NV returns as shown on MSNBC:

[Ken Burch]

(Not disputing HRC's apparent narrow win, just want clarification on these points)

1)Are those numbers they're showing below the percentages raw votes or pledged state convention delegates?

2)If it us just pledged state convention delegates, will they ever release the raw vote totals or will they get all Iowa about it?

3)Why do they seem to have stopped counting at 83% of the vote total? Would it really be that difficult to release the rest of the results?

1. It'll come

Just give it time. It's at 84% now. Actually, as more vote have come out, here lead has increased. Shes up 5% now.

3. Which link are you looking at for the rest of the returns?

I'm looking at KOLO News in NV (ABC affiliate). They seem to be updating frequently.

4. I like to use

CNN: http://www.cnn.com/election/primaries/states/nv/Dem

or

Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/2016-election-results/nevada/

2. It can't be raw votes. I think I heard that 80,000 people

were at the caucus.

8. They need to do the right thing and release the raw vote totals.

Secrecy on that was unjustified in Iowa and would be unjustified in NV as well.

5. I heard they are delegates.

After all is said and done There are 12,000 total delegates. That's what Steve Kornacki said.

6. It's my understanding that the numbers that are coming in...

...are precinct delegates.

These are the delegates that are awarded in each precinct.

They are not a percentage of the raw vote (popular vote). The percentages are the percentage of precinct delegates that each candidate won in those precincts tonight.

According to KOLO News (with 85 percent reporting)

Delegates won, thus far are: Clinton 5429, Sanders 4913. That gives Clinton 52 percent; Sanders 47.

Caucuses never release raw vote totals or the popular vote. That would turn the caucus into a primary vote.

It will be interesting to see what the delegate breakdown is. Obama lost by 6 percent in 2008 and ended up earning one more delegate than Clinton.

7. Surprised a 5+ point win isnt being called a virtual tie. nt

9. OP asked a legit question. Snark is uncalled for ...

but if that's what floats your boat, have at it.

11. I wasn't addressing HRC's margin here.

You know you candidate had nothing to celebrate in Iowa, though.
