C A note about caucus states: In these states (West Virginia, Kansas, Minnesota, North Dakota, Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, and American Samoa), voters meet in small groups to choose their nominee. Some caucuses may not release popular vote totals -- in this case, the indicated percentages refer to the proportion of delegates won. Delegate counts in some caucuses may also be tentative until officially decided at state party conventions.
A note about delegate counts: For both parties we count only pledged delegates, which are determined by voting results. Both Democrats and Republicans also award "unpledged delegates," also known as superdelegates, which aren't bound by election results. Pledged delegates are awarded according to procedures that vary by party and by state. For a complete breakdown of delegate procedures, see Larry Sabato's guide.

S Super delegates are party officials who are free to change their minds at any time until the party convention. So tallying up super delegate results now is a dodgy affair. Our count, here, comes from CNN's survey of super delegates.
