...it takes weeks to determine who they are. There's still one delegate unassigned in California (from way back in March) and a few from other states that voted weeks ago.

CD3 is still up in the air as it may take 2 to 3 days to county the absentee ballots. Personally, I hope it drops sufficiently so there aren't any in CD3.

Candidates qualify for delegate(s) when they receive 15% of the votes. But then I believe if there are candidates not receiving 15% or more they are not included in determining delegates. Rather, they use only the votes of those that received at least 15% and then allocate based on that.

CD1 is in the Lake County area (NW Indiana) while CD3 is in NE Indiana which includes Fort Wayne.

Sanders had 215 delegates back then. Best he could get would be 83. Which is unlikely.

Looks like a slim chance he could get those 35 from this bunch.
