Warren not winning anything just shows that she is second teir to sanders and can't seriously win. In Pure vote terms Biden was actually only 2% ahead of Klobachar (on 13 and 11 respectively) after realignment but his rural votes helped him get 16% of delegates. | ||

They fucked up first alignment counts in many caucuses, which messed up which candidates were viable, which meant realignment was inaccurate or illegitimate because of the rules, and then people did the math on how to allocate the delegates based on those alignments wrong. Typically the party collects the same "3 types of data" but they used to only report the final count so no one saw the 'bad math' and process errors. So they might have a sheet of paper with numbers on it but they can't recapture the moment a candidate should have been declared viable or non-viable but wasn't because of a bad count/bad math. That's what Biden is intimately familiar with and privately arguing invalidates the results. Source on fucking up the first alignment counts? Everything I’ve seen is about failure to report results after caucusing; viability determinations wouldn’t be effected by that. If they fucked up first alignment counts that’s a bigger deal, but also has no apparent relation to the app or the delayed results. | ||

Does Bernie have more votes but might end up getting slightly fewer delegates that Buttigieg? If so, why is that? Is it because it's not a popular vote, but instead by regions (like the general election's electoral college)? | ||

You need less people per delegate in rural areas compared to urban areas im not sure of the exact reason but it might be each area has a minimum amount of delegates so lots of the small places add up to more delegates with less people than a city. | ||

There’s a metaphor in it, but I’m not sure for what. Well it is a better system than your FPTP normal election system, it at least has that going for it. | ||
