It's always a caucus in the presidential election. The primary was for a senate race. (eom)

A delegate represents a number of voters. These numbers are apples and oranges.
Sanders dominated the race with 70 percent of the vote to Clintons 30 percent, with all precincts counted. Turnout was expected to be strong and did not disappoint with 33,716 votes cast.

I was missing the point of your post. Frankly, I still am.
