Related: About this forumI am bad at math, but right now 50% of the results for votes are in for NV
And all total add up to 10K
How in the world is that possible. I thought that 75K voted early. And assumed that many again on caucus day.
I must be missing something obvious.

Bernie got 33% of the first votes.
What the media is reporting is state delegates.
Just like Iowa, these are not the same thing.
