Why did Nebraska have a Democratic Primary when the delegates were already committed?

Clinton wins Nebraska primary but gets no delegates

Hillary Clinton won a symbolic victory Tuesday in Nebraska, taking 59 percent of the primary vote and rival Bernie Sanders getting 40 percent.

Democrats in the Cornhusker State held presidential caucuses in March, with Sanders emerging victorious. The two Democratic candidates appeared on the state’s primary ballot on Tuesday, when voters went to the polls to make their choice in the GOP race.


In the March caucuses, Sanders won 57 percent of the vote to Clinton’s 42 percent, taking 15 delegates to Clinton’s 10.

1. Has to do with their State laws. But it does bode well for Hillary in the GE

2. Yes it does

3. To derermine the popular candidate for the GE.

Maybe the delegates end up voting for the popular candidate if they are undecided at convention time.

Just a theory.
Its unusual but I don't know the history of NE politics at this point.

4. If the situation were reversed

BSers would be screaming about the rigged system.....it would get ugly.

6. Washington is the same way

We already held our Democratic caucus. The primary is May 24.

7. Yes--I already mailed in my vote for Hillary

I doubt she will win Washington, but it would be oh, so sweet if she did.
