What's this?

NOT political, but a Super Tuesday process question...

I kept hearing that there were 1300 delegates up for grabs yesterday, but today I see totals for the candidates they're not even close to adding up to that. What gives?

Why should our military stationed overseas have to vote two weeks early? -- BB Hokie 03/04/2020 2:47PM

I can see both sides. -- VTSnake 03/04/2020 2:29PM

And a reminder these are private political clubs picking their candidates.. -- `lag 03/04/2020 2:51PM

Correct. Also the two parties have different rules for allocating delegate. ** -- Hokie360 03/04/2020 3:22PM

Yep. As we just saw several candidates dropped out the day before. ** -- BB Hokie 03/04/2020 2:45PM

And if you are sending in your ballot by dropping off at a Consular post -- hokiemas 03/04/2020 2:19PM

I think it's because all the votes aren't counted yet. ** -- AbsolutVT03 03/04/2020 1:51PM

And yet, they can say who the "winner" is? Makes no sense... ** -- The Bear 03/04/2020 2:30PM

There's no "winner" until the convention picks one. -- `lag 03/04/2020 4:14PM

I mean if one candidate is already ahead by more votes than there are -- AbsolutVT03 03/04/2020 2:48PM

They also have to do some extra math to figure out how to divide up -- Hokie360 03/04/2020 3:38PM

Also not political, but I just now realized Joe is #winning -- Coach McGuirk 03/04/2020 1:47PM
