Clinton wins Oklahoma

CNN has called Oklahoma for Hillary Clinton, who was expected to handily win there. The polling had her up by almost 30 points.

Oklahoma has a total of 47 delegates; 25 are allotted proportionally based on the support each candidate receives in each of Oklahoma's 5 congressional district and 13 are allotted proportionally based on the support each candidate receives statewide.

The rest are superdelegates.

Remember that none of the Democratic primaries are winner takes all contests. So regardless of who the state is called for, the other candidate is sure to get delegates - perhaps even more than the winner of the popular vote.

It all depends on the rules.
