2. It really isn't done till the State convention

It goes from precinct caucus to legislative caucus to Congressional district caucus then State convention.

The congressional district caucuses will be held May 21. The State Convention will be June 17 through June 19.

Not sure why they say he picked up delegates.

4. Basically it is old news, made official.

It was discussed in an LBN thread, and I found this to be one of the most helpful, clarifying posts:

5. This just confirmed what happened over a month ago.

There isn't any actual change.

6. Bernie does well in states where voters don't vote.

7. Washington usually has a pretty good voter turnout

Better that most states.

It's also whiter than most states. Sanders tends to do well in states with lower minority demographics.

8. Sorry of course you are right

I live in Kent a few year back. I was thinking caucus. silly me.

9. Sanders Nets 31 Delegates in Washington State, While Clinton Notches Guam Caucus Win

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has cut into Hillary Clinton's lead by more than two dozen delegates, based on new data from Washington state, but his chances of winning the nomination haven't gotten much better. Clinton won the Guam caucus.

In Guam, the party said Clinton won 60 percent of the vote to earn four of the seven delegates at stake. Sanders will pick up three delegates.

Combined with some delegate gains in Washington state, Clinton now has 94 percent of the 2,383 delegates needed to clinch the nomination as she seeks to look ahead to a November matchup against Republican Donald Trump. Sanders has said he will take his delegate fight to the floor of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia in July.

In Washington state, Sanders handily won the caucus on March 26, when the Vermont senator won 25 of the 34 delegates awarded that day. An additional 67 district-level delegates could not be divided up until the state party released vote data broken down by congressional district.
