Here is the Super Tuesday math:
Twelve states and one territory head to the polls today, in what could be the turning point in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Delegate counts and the latest polls show that Donald Trump could potentially clinch the Republican nomination this month if he does well.
Super Tuesday puts 24 percent of the GOP’s delegates up for grabs; Trump currently has 81 of the 1,237 delegates needed to win his party’s nomination.
A good day for Hillary Clinton could widen her currently narrow lead over Democratic challenger Bernie Sanders.
Almost 1,000 delegates will be awarded among the Democrats today; Clinton already has 544 of the 2,382 needed to head to the general election.
