It’s Complicated

I won’t be writing about delegate counts this morning, or indeed today. With the complex rules the Democrats have adopted for this cycle, it sometimes takes days to determine exactly who gets a state’s delegates.

Some get assigned immediately, those I believe are the ones tied to the raw vote totals in that state. Others take awhile, probably because they’re tied to the “whoever gets 15% in each congressional district gets delegates” rule. Quoting the Janet Evanovich character Stephanie Plum’s favorite line, “It’s complicated.”
