I must have misconstrued the actual definition of math with the political system you are touting. #FeelTheSystem!




mathematics
/ˌmæ?əˈmætɪks; ˌmæ?ˈmæt-/
noun
1.
(functioning as sing) a group of related sciences, including algebra, geometry, and calculus, concerned with the study of number, quantity, shape, and space and their interrelationships by using a specialized notation

Wait I can do the math for you, it is really simple...

Where
Bd=Bernie Delegates
Hd=Hillary Delegates
CD= Congressional District Delegates
A=At-Large Delegates
P=PLEO Delegates
Vb= Popular vote Percentage Bernie
Vh= Popular vote Percentage Hillary

So:
Bd=Vb(CD)+Vb(A)+Vb(P)
Hd=Vh(CD)+Vh(A)+Vh(P)

See very easy, oh and...

Saturday 28 May 2016: Second Tier State Convention. 6 of 18 delegates to the Democratic National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders in proportion to the support each candidate receives at the State Convention. A mandatory 15 percent threshold is required in order for a presidential contender to be allocated National Convention delegates at the statewide level.

6 delegates are to be pledged to presidential contenders based on the support each candidate receives at the State Convention as a whole.
4 at-large National Convention delegates
2 Pledged PLEOs


But that is just proofing the formula with math.
