Democrats release delegate numbers

The Democratic State Committee released its unofficial delegate numbers today.

Of the 107 total pledged delegates, Hillary Clinton will get 59 to Barack Obama’s 48.

For Clinton, that includes 38 of the pledged district delegates who were on the ballot yesterday and 21 of the at-large delegates and local officials. Obama got 32 of the pledged district delegates and 16 of the at-large delegates.

Clinton gets 13 of the 20 super delegates, while Obama gets only one. Four super delegates have not yet declared, while two others have not yet been selected. The four undeclared Superdelegates are Sen. Frank Lautenberg, Rep. Rush Holt, and DNC Committemen Donald Norcross and Philip D. Murphy.

It’s unclear exactly which delegates that were on the ballot get to go to the Democratic National Convention in Denver come August.

The Republican delegate apportionment system is winner-take-all, although voters won't technically select delegates until the June primary.
