91 of 114 delegates to the Democratic National Convention are pledged to presidential contenders based on the results of the voting in today's Massachusetts Presidential Primary. A mandatory 15 percent threshold is required in order for a presidential contender to be allocated National Convention delegates at either the congressional district or statewide level. How the Democratic Proportional Delegate Allocation Math works.
At the 16 May State Committee meeting, all Warren and Sanders statewide delegates were reallocated to Biden, but by agreement of the Biden and Sanders campaign, the Biden slate nominated the Sanders slate and asked the original allocation (4 PLEO and 7 At-Large) go to Sanders. Having withdrawn, Warren's 3 PLEO and 5 At-Large delegates where assigned to Biden. There was no change to the District delegate allocation. The final tally is Biden 45 (37+8), Sanders 30, and Warren 16 (24-8). The hard tally remains at Biden 37, Sanders 30, and Warren 24. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
