Hillary Clinton won the Nebraska Democratic primary on Tuesday, but shes not getting any delegates out of it.
The Associated Press called the race in favor of Clinton, whose victory amounts to mere expression of preference but could serve as a boost to the Democratic front-runner's argument that she is a more electable candidate in open contests, particularly as she looks to pivot to the general election against presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.
The candidates delegates to the Democratic National Convention were awarded in the states March 5 caucuces.
Hillary Clinton 40,164
Bernie Sanders 35,084
*Delegates awarded in March caucus 1385/1480 precincts

(297,190 posts)And, why doesn't she get any delegates?
I don't understand this..
"Bernie Sanders won the caucuses by 15 percentage points, receiving 15 delegates to Clintons 10".
Confusing! Was it Caucusing and Primary voting?
Thank you

(15,368 posts)have confused situations, IMO. The delegates were awarded at the caucus earlier on. This is something different.
I really don't understand why NE and other states just don't scrap caucuses altogether.

(297,190 posts)It is a little weird about Nebraska.. BS got more delegates but Hillary "won" because she got more votes.. or something. lol
Main thing is she was close in a state with its demographics.

(1,545 posts)Team Slanders would be demanding that Nebraska take away Hillary's delegates and give them to Blarney.

(50,912 posts)They would had received Stage III delegates in addition to their base delegates. Instead of 25 delegates it could had been an additional 4 delegates for a total of 29. It would had been allocated 20 delegates at the district level, 6 at large, and 3 PLEO. (Bonus delegates can only be allocated at the district and at-large level)
