Good work, George. But your math is a bit off.

Biden - 1217 Needs 774 to win. That's 46.2% of remaining 1,677 delegates remaining.
Sanders - 915 Needs 1,076 to win. That's 64.2% of remaining 1,677 delegates remaining.

Your point it correct. But it is even more stark than your numbers showed.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
