63. I look at it this way...
in terms of the power of a voter relative to the state he or she lives in...

let's optimistically say 60,000 voted (it was a much lower number) in today's primary then it takes ~4600 voters to determine one delegate. In contrast it takes about ~10,000 voters to win one delegate in California. Boy am I living in the wrong state!

I might also add that this is exactly why one might end up with more votes overall, but fewer pledged delegates - like in the general election, its states rights over the individual voter's right gone a muck.
