Democratic Delegates math

Democratic Delegates Candidate

Needed to win nomination: 2,383
Hillary Clinton: 2,291 (includes 524 superdelegates)Bernie Sanders: 1,528 (includes 40 superdelegates)Not yet allocated: 946

http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/graphics/2016-delegate-tracker/

2,383-2,291 = 92 (delegates needed to clinch)

92/946 = .097 so HRC will need about 10% of the remaining delegates

2,383-1,528 = 855 (delegates needed to clinch)

855/946 = .90 so Bernie will need about 90% of the remaining delegates
