Mass media have already pro­ject­ed that Sanders and Cruz are the vic­tors in Wis­con­sin. Clin­ton will still wind up with del­e­gates, since the Democ­rats allo­cate del­e­gates pro­por­tion­al­ly in every state. For Repub­li­cans, Wis­con­sin is a win­ner takes most state, which means Cruz will get the bulk of the state’s del­e­gates (but not all).
