2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Am I correct that Hillary needs to take 67% of the rest of the delegates to secure the nomination? [View all]
2383 to win the nomination
she has 1444 delegates.
that means she needs 939 delegates out of the remaining 1400 to hit 2383.
Thats 67% of the remaining total right?
Or is my math screwy?

You are incorrect about 2008. Hillary conceded and still a third of the supers stuck with her.

She needs 175% of the remaining delegates, and Sanders needs just one delegate.

2,383 is the number. She likely won't hit that until the supers vote at the convention.

Receiving enough earned delegates to win nomination outright will be difficult for her.

Hillary needs 67% of remaining pledged delegates to secure 2,383 through PDs alone.

I don't think that' exactly true. She needs those delegate to go from a plurality to a majority.
