I am very confused by the 51% to 38%..

[FourScore]

Bernie currently has 112,000, Hillary has 79,000 (I'm rounding the numbers) which makes a total of 191,000. But according to The Guardian, 219,000 votes have been counted. Who got the other 28,000 votes?

Any ideas?

1. Some local guy is pulling almost 9%

5. Interesting.

National Convention At-Large and Pledged Pledged PLEO delegates are elected during the 12 June State Executive Committee Meeting according to the results of the primary.

The remaining 8 National Convention delegates consist of

8 Unpledged PLEO delegates:
6 Democratic National Committee members.
1 Member of Congress (1 Senator and 0 Representatives).
1 Governor.
0 Distinguished Party Leaders.

These 8 delegates will go to the Democratic National Convention officially "Unpledged".

If the so-called super delegates go to the Nat'l Convention officially "unpledged," why are the being counted into the tally now? It is unprecedented and, frankly, dishonest.

7. It is not unprecedented

They are discussed every cycle. Most of the honest news outlets will mention the details. But we take the delegates at their word and the process is rarely close overall. It was close in 2008 and Hillary still dropped out after the last primary.

10. That they are added into the tally now is unprecedented.

They were kept separate in 2008 and 2012. The implication of adding them into the tally now is that they were earned when, in fact, they are not officially cast until the convention. Bottom line is until a candidate reaches the magic number of earned/pledged delegates, there is no nominee in which case a nominee will be decided at the convention.

13. I'm not sure you know the meaning of "unprecedented"

9. Thanks I was about to point this out

[lmbradford]

11. They are votes for others...

The others are non-viable so those votes will be divided proportionally between Clinton and Sanders. That is my understanding.

12. Is that the 15% rule? I was wondering if that applies here. nt

[RichVRichV]

14. Yes.

The 15 percent rule applies separately across the 3 congressional districts for the 20 district level delegates (districts 1 and 2 have 7 delegates each, district 3 has 6 delegates) and across the state as a whole for the 3 PLEO and 6 At-Large delegates. So if any candidate crosses the 15% threshold in any congressional district then they would be in the running for a district level delegate. At one point earlier tonight "Other" was at 19% in district 3. I don't know how the breakdown between other candidates were though. I'm still waiting on the remaining counties to tally up the district level results.

16. On the touch screen, where did Farrell's name appear?

Was it next to Clinton or next to Sanders or not next to either of their names?

[RichVRichV]

18. No clue, I live in Illinois.

I'm just going off the posted results and the rules in the delegate selection plan.
