About the delegates,

Here’s a bit of an explainer. What the caucus goers are actually doing is electing 8 delegates and as many alternates as want to go, the Polk County Democratic convention.  Delegates will be apportioned according to the final vote totals. Obviously, some rounding off will be required, because I’m not sure how to send 1.75 delegate to the convention. AT the county convention, delegates for the state convention and the district convention will be elected. The state convention in May will elect the delegates to the national convention, “and that finally will give the candidates their delegate count,” says Scott Falb.
