9. Amy candidate who doesn't get fifteen percent

In a given district is considered non - viable. The candidate is removed from consideration, and their supporters either leave or caucus with their second choice candidate. Then everyone is counted again until all remaining candidates have at least fifteen percent, then delegates are apportioned. In this case Bernie swept it in the first round.

I just heard district four was split 16 delegates for Bernie and 3 for Hillary.

Wow...clean sweep? n/t Hydra Mar 2016 #1
