Explain delegate counts to me, please.

The AP is currently saying Washington has 101 delegates, Bernie 18 and Hillary 5. Does this seriously mean there are 78 super delegates and only 23 regular delegates from Washington??

1. I think that's how many they have so far.

The rest will be allocated when they finish counting. Pretty sure, anyway.

2. All precincts have not reported.

That count does not include super-delegates.

3. Thanks.

4. that's based on the precincts that are in so far - more delegates to be assigned as time goes on

5. 101 Pledged + 17 Supers

10 supers are asking not to be re-elected at this point.

7. So, how is it decided how many delegates a precinct gets?

By a formula based on the percent of Dem votes in 2012 for president in that precinct.

8. Almost 100% of Alaska and Washington are in, and yet a lot of delegates

are not showing up in the nytimes, AP totals. Is it sticking in the craw of the MSM to show them?

9. You can see the estimates for final counts at Green Papers based on current results
