Nebraska Democratic Party officials award its delegates based on its caucuses. State law, however, required the party's presidential candidates to be listed on the primary ballot as well. Hence a symbolic double dip of sorts.

Results do not invalidate Bernie Sanders' 14-point victory in the state's March 5 caucuses. That result will stand as this year's official Democratic presidential tally in Nebraska.

I'm trying to figure out why a democrat would be motivated to caste a vote in a powerless primary.
