Did Sanders break 15%? Hokie Mar 2020 #1

Good question. I also saw that on CNN. MSNBC has rounded up to 15%. n/t Tarheel_Dem Mar 2020 #2

I don't think they round up but Hokie Mar 2020 #4

He's still at 14.8% - those two are probably district delegates. George II Mar 2020 #3

The last results I saw showed Sanders at 14.8%. That's below the threshold IIRC is it not?

I checked and the threshold goes by congressional district for delegates awarded on that basis. Sanders will probably get some delegates if he broke 15% in a district. The state was still a blowout for Biden regardless.
