The AP Reports that Clinton indeed DID take all 7 delegates in the Virgin Islands: "picking up all seven delegates" http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_2016_ELECTION_VIRGIN_ISLANDS?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT …

Seven Pledged Delegates -




Four Super Ds -

2. Pledged delegates don't count

unless they are for Sanders. Right now he is winning 1547 delegates to Clinton's 0 and yet they want him to drop out?! Ridiculous!

3. Thanks for the update. Much appreciated.

4. I think you're going to find that the final count will be 6-1. Even though Sanders was not viable

primary wide, he was viable in one district and received 1 pledged delegate there.

5. I think the greenpapers is wrong.

There has been some confusion about the viability issues. 15% of the whole or of the districts.

Here is the wiki page - scroll down to the list by states/dates.

7 and 4

6. I'm not sure what the 7 and 4 you're referring to, but Wikipedia shows VI as 6-1 for PDs at the link

you supplied

[DURHAM D]

7. You are right.

I checked it when I linked it so it has been changed again.

lol

Nate Silver still had it at 6 - 1 last night when everyone else had changed to 7 - 0 after a post from the head of the Dem Party in VI. Nate is usually right.

15. What does it say now?

[SFnomad]

16. Did you change it? Anyone can.

Now it says 7-0 ... looks like there are conflicting reports. In looking at other states, specifically Alabama, it appears the viability threshold is on a per Congressional District basis. The PLEO and "at-large" are on a statewide basis. If that is indeed the case, Sanders will get one delegate. If that is not that case, then Sanders won't.

In the end, it won't make any difference ... but the Sanders supporters are fighting for every single delegate by claiming all manners of slights.

[DURHAM D]

17. No, I don't know how.

The head of the party in VI said last night that Hillary got all 7. Guess he should know.


ETA: Did you change it?

8. I was told earlier this afternoon that she was hanging on by a thread . . . .
