This is just a quick update to note that many times the original delegate counts that come out of states are not correct. There is complicated math to be done at the district level and sometimes the original vote totals are off and are later updated.
The night of the Super Saturday, last weekend, Sanders won the Kansas and Nebraska Caucuses while Clinton won the Louisiana primary. The night ended and some were saying that Sanders actually lost 3 delegates on the night.
However, Sanders ended up getting 1 more delegate in Nebraska than first thought and two more in Louisiana. That put him tied with fivethirtyeight’s projection for the night (if Sanders is on track to win the nomination). That night, it seemed that Sanders had won Kansas with 23 delegates to Clinton’s 10. However, the numbers in Kansas now show that Sanders got an additional delegate (and Clinton lost one) in the 4th congressional district (he need to break 70% to do this and he barely did).
Here are the official results from Saturday’s Kansas Democratic Caucuses. Out of the 33 Kansas delegates, Senator Bernie Sanders took 24, while Secretary Hillary Clinton walked away with 9.
Secretary Clinton – 9 Delegates
- 1st Congressional District: 1,833 votes, 1 Delegate
- 2nd Congressional District: 3,225 votes, 2 Delegates
- 3rd Congressional District: 4,689 votes, 2 Delegates
- 4th Congressional District: 2,846 votes, 1 Delegate
- Total: 12,593 votes, 2 At-Large Delegates, 1 PLEO Delegate
Senator Sanders – 24 Delegates
- 1st Congressional District: 4,074 votes, 3 Delegates
- 2nd Congressional District: 8,117 votes, 5 Delegates
- 3rd Congressional District: 7,671 votes, 4 Delegates
- 4th Congressional District: 6,775 votes, 4 Delegates
- Total: 26,637 votes, 5 At-Large Delegates, 3 PLEO Delegates
That puts Sanders up 24 delegates to Clinton’s 9 delegates in Kansas. This gives Sanders about 73% of the national delegates from Kansas. This also means that Sanders did outperform his fivethirtyeight delegate goals on Super Saturday, despite the declarations that he had fallen behind by 3.
