Second to Last Democratic Primary Preview: California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota

          With the exception of D.C. next week, we have reached the end of the Democratic primary process. California has turned into a very interesting race as polling shows a quite close contest. If enough younger people turn out, Sanders may in fact win. We don’t think that will happen but would not be surprised if it did. Regardless, the final California results will be tallied long after Clinton clinches the majority of delegates. At this point, Clinton is at most 50 delegates away from a majority of delegates, which she gets in New Jersey at 8 p.m. (The AP has already called it for her based on its reporting of super delegates’ commitments.) We think Clinton will win California, New Jersey, and New Mexico. We think Sanders will win Montana and North Dakota. South Dakota is our greatest puzzle. We think Sanders wins, but we are not remotely sure. Full delegate allocations follow.

The Scorecard

The Scorecard

The Scorecard is a political strategy and analysis blog. Our hope is to provide information and insight that can be found nowhere else into how and why things are happening in American politics. Unlike many political pundits, we will tell you who we think is going to win as an election approaches; we will tell you why; and we will give you a sense of our level of confidence. Ours is a holistic approach, one that takes in as many numbers as possible but is also willing to look past the numbers if need be. When we turn out to have been wrong, we will let you know. When we are right, we’ll let you know that too.

About Me

Delegate Count

Author Jason Paul is a longtime political operative who got his start as an intern in 2002. He has been a political forecaster for almost as long. He won the 2006 Swing State Project election prediction contest and has won two other local contests. He had the pulse of Obama-Clinton race in 2008 and has been as good as anyone at delegate math in the 2016 race. He looks forwards to providing quality coverage for the remainder of the 2016 race.
