Hillary Clinton maintains a lead of more than 200 delegates after Bernie Sanders’s win in Wisconsin.
On Tuesday, Sanders netted about a dozen delegates, winning 47 to Clinton’s 36. Three remain to be allocated, pending final vote tallies.
But his win wasn’t big enough to make up much ground in delegates. Democratic contests award delegates in proportion to the vote, so more narrow victories do little to cut into a frontrunner’s big delegate lead.
Based on primaries and caucuses to date, Clinton now has 1,279 delegates to Sanders’ 1,027.
The lead is even bigger when including superdelegates, or party officials who can back any candidate.
Clinton now has 1,748 to Sanders’ 1,058. It takes 2,383 to win.
