A candidate has to get 15% of vote to get any delegates.

After that it's a math formula to determine what the proportionality of delegates end up being.

In this case, Biden got 43 and Sanders got 41

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Well, I don't really know what that means. Does he get all the delegates or just a portion? captain queeg Mar 2020 #3
