after virgin islands and Puerto Rico.

hillary will a few dozen delegates shy of 2383. Do you think uncommitted super delegates may come in for hillary before June 7th and put her over? There are pluses and minuses. I rather they wait until after June 7th so hillary voters vote....

5. It is only required to have the delegate count but she will have over half of the pledged delegates

Before the convention. She only needs 248 more pledged delegates and only getting half of the remainder pledged delegates will provide half of the pledged delegates.

It could potentially depress turnout. I hope NJ is the state that puts her over the top.

On that hope. I'd love to see my native state of NJ tip Hillary the winning delegates.
