Some people don’t like fact and math, but I do. Here is the math associated with the Democratic Presidential nomination process this day – 3/17/16 – plain and simple:

Total delegates (pledged and super delegates) = 4763

Delegates needed to win (half the delegates, rounded up) = 2382

Delegates “won” (pledged delegates won – super delegates promised) = Clinton 1606 + Sanders 813 = 2419

Delegates still available (pledged and super) =
total delegates – delegates “won” = 4763 – 2419 = 2344

Clinton delegates “won” (pledged and super) = 1606

Clinton delegates still needed to cinch nomination =
Delegate needed to win – Clinton delegates “won”

= 2383 – 1606 = 776

Clinton – percentage or remaining delegates required to cinch nomination = Delegate needed to cinch / delegates remaining = 776/2344 = 33.1%

Sanders delegates “won” (pledged and super) = 813

Sanders delegates still needed to cinch nomination =
Delegate needed to win – Sanders delegates “won”

= 2383 – 813 = 1570

Sanders – percentage or remaining delegates required to cinch nomination = Delegate needed to cinch / delegates remaining = 1570/2344 = 66.9%
