The Delegate Fight: 2016

[Ebsy]

The Iowa State Democratic Party congressional district conventions are occurring today. Delegates splits that I could find on twitter:

IA-1: 4-4
IA-2: 4-4 (Tentative, delegates still being selected)
IA-3: 4-3 Clinton
IA-4: 3-3

Someone else said that the final count was 15 for Clinton and 14 for Sanders out of the Congressional District delegates, so a split in IA-2 makes sense. The statewide convention is next month I believe.

Okay, I've got confirmation on the delegate splits from all 4 conventions. Things went as expected with Clinton getting 15 to Sanders 14, the same split we had on caucus night. In terms of the state convention, the 6 PLEOs should split 3-3, but the real contest will be who get the 9th at-large national delegate awarded to the campaign with the most state delegates. Clinton should be narrowly favored, since she is going to have permanent organizers in the state from now on as well as a narrow advantage coming out of the county conventions.

Sanders loses Virgin Islands superdelegate to Clinton.

For those interested (probably no one) the result of the Wyoming Democratic Convention today was maintaining the 7-7 pledged delegate split. Some Sanders people were unsatisfied, so they are being allowed to file a challenge that will go to the credentials committee(?) over the matter of how district delegates are apportioned (currently they are apportioned by the caucus day vote, as they were in Nevada).
