(41,832 posts)3. that's not correct
I believe that number is total delegates to the their state conventions.
It's a complicated process. Some states have area conventions, then they are pared down, and then again, until they have to one state convention.

(41,832 posts)7. The Times is not explaining it at all. I've seen the same number corrected before
Those are state delegate votes.
For example, over 200,000 showed up for the Washington caucus.
Noting the huge voter turnout in Washington, party officials estimated more than 200,000 people participated on Saturday, close to the record set in 2008 he told the crowd, We are making significant inroads into Secretary Clintons lead.

(4,507 posts)6. Only 440 in Alaska is most certainly incorrect
those are probably delegate equivalents to the state convention.
Definitely more people participated than that.
OKNancy
(41,832 posts)8. yes, you are correct - it's state convention delegates.

(4,008 posts)11. Thats the 3 state total?
Everyone said it was larger turnout than previous . I really never follow caucus turnout before so I am surprised it wasn't higher for all the Bernie brag.
