Super Tuesday Calculator

How to use:

• Enter percentages of the total vote in each field.
• Only you can see the data you enter. It's saved on your computer for about 30 days.
• Update 31 Jan: Yep, Edwards is out. I think it's still likely he'll get 3-5% in some states, which you might want factor in when extrapolating. If not, just put zeroes in his column.

Legend

• green: your numbers in this row add up to 100%
• red: your numbers in this row exceed 100%
• blue: rounding prevents awarding all delegates.
• blue background: this candidate won the state.

Rounding example: if two candidates have 50% in a state with 15 delegates, they'll get 7 each.

Notes on the formula

As per Democratic Party rules, candidates with less that 15% get no delegates. If there is such a candidate in your numbers, the delegate counts of the other candidates are raised accordingly.

If you're working from poll numbers, you may have a high undecided percentage. By default, the numbers show the awarded delegates for exactly the vote percentage you enter. If you want to use a simple extrapolation to evenly distribute the undecided bloc, check the "Extrapolate" box below the table.

Obviously, if you use the extrapolation function, a candidate who doesn't meet the viability threshold from your numbers might meet it after extrapolation. So if they are on 12, for instance, extrapolation might lift them above 15 and into the delegate count.

Remember, this is a generalised estimation tool: actual Democratic Party rules are byzantine and vary according to state. No refunds.
