March 5: HRC: 244,688 (68.5%) Bernie: 112,955 (31.5) in total popular vote

While Bernie won two low turnout caucuses, HRC won another landslide in the South taking Louisiana with 71% of the vote. If you combine the total votes (so far calculated) she has 244,688 total votes today compared to Bernie's 112,955. She also won more delegates so far today--51 for HRC and 45 for Bernie.

More accurate is that she won LA with those numbers, since the other am two contests today do not count popular vote.
