John Laurits updates yesterdays post to include the Oregon math:

Oregon: The After-MATH

At the time of this writing (about 01:00pm PDT), 55 out of 61 pledged delegates in Oregon have been allocated by the Green Papers and 95.5% of precincts are reporting. Sanders has handily defeated Clinton in Oregon (though, admittedly, not quite as handily as many of us had hoped) with 56.0% to 44.0%, and 32 to 23 delegates. This increases both totals to:

Clinton = 1,745 + 23 = 1,768
Sanders = 1,464 + 32 =1,496

Subtracting Sanders’ new total of 1,496 from the bare majority of 2,026, we get:

2,026 – 1,496 = 530

Sanders now needs 530 more pledged delegates to take the lead — and, dividing 530 by 787 (the number of remaining delegates) that means:

530 ÷ 787 = 0.673

Bernie will have to win 67.3% of the remaining contests to win the majority — “an uphill battle,” as the Sand-Man says!

What This Means
