As if counting delegates weren’t confusing enough , news organizations are calculating their own totals. And they’re all different! Some, like the Associated Press and CNN , include projected delegates in caucuses like Iowa and Nevada, as well as superdelegates. The New York Times numbers don’t include projected delegates. NBC’s most recent estimate doesn’t say what their methodology is. And, of course, counts will differ based on which states have reported (and how thoroughly) and how conservative news organizations are willing to be in their estimates.
Given all that, here are the projections on the Democratic side:
