The magic number is +453.

That's how many delegates Hillary needs tonight to meet her FiveThirtyEight target number, which would give her a cumulative total of 544. The super-DUPER magic number is +478, for a cumulative total of 569, which would exceed the threshold for a Bernie worst case scenario win.

Anything she has above 569 at the end of the night is gravy.

In other news, I waited an hour and a half to vote for Hillary here in Minnesota. When I vote again in 2024, I'm getting there a lot earlier!

He got 3. The median was a tie.

Which I mention because I don't see them listed on this live feed. Shows her with 405, so she really has 413
