By Wednesday, we could have a clearer picture of who the nominee will be.
Democrats throughout the US have been participating in a series of caucuses (basically party conferences, where you vote publicly at the finish) or primaries (secret ballots) to choose their most popular candidate.
Thus far, only 155 delegates have been awarded in 4 states. On Super Tuesday, a massive 1,357 delegates shall be distributed, and 14 states are voting. The two most populous, California and Texas, will participate – the previous for the first time on Tremendous Tuesday.
This is what’s at stake in every state- the smallest to the biggest- with some bonus nuggets of trivia thrown in.
