The official number of delegates if all delegates are living and show up at the convention is 4,765. The nominee needs to receive a majority of all delegates which are Pledged and Automatic combined. It takes 2,383 to reach the majority. It can be any combination of both Pledged and Automatic. It is not 2,383 of just Pledged delegates as the opposition try to argue.

States with higher turnout than 2008

Illinois -- 2008: 2,038,614 --- 2016: 2,039,049 -- Increase of 435 votes.
Michigan* -- 2008: 594,398 --- 2016: 1,169,075 -- Increase of 574,677.

There were no other states with a higher turnout.

* Obama and other Democrats removed their name from the ballot due to Michigan not following the rules.

3. A few more numbers for people to think about:

Population of the United States*: 318,217,159
Population of states that have voted: 248,943,799
Population of states won by Clinton: 195,081,326
Population of states won by Sanders: 53,862,473

States that have voted represent almost 80% of the entire population of the US.
Of those, states that Clinton won represent 78% of those that voted (60% of the entire population), Sanders only 22%

Clinton has been winning states that overwhelmingly represent a huge % of the nation's people.

*census statistics from a year or two ago, but still very close state by state

4. This is a key figure

Open Primaries -- Clinton: 9 -- Sanders: 3

Who's to say that bernie would have won more if they were all open? He would have probably lost more.
