Democrats Abroad Release The Results

For those of us who voted, the votes have been counted and here are the results:
EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa Region) cast 60.86% of the vote and had 5 delegates. They broke 3-2 for Sanders
Asia-Pacific cast 19.72% of the vote and had 2 delegates, they split 1-1
Americas cast 19.42% of the vote and split 1-1 as well.
Sanders got 5 of these delegates and Clinton got 4 from regional vote.
Sanders gets 4 more delegates that are delegated based on overall vote which gives him 9 and Clinton got 0 which leaves her at 4.

The rules for Democrats Abroad go like this:
There are 13 pledged and 4 unpledged: 8 Superdelegates with .5 votes each

Delegates are allocated to regions based on the number of voters in that region compared to the total number of voters. All regions are guaranteed at least one delegate, to be assigned to the presidential candidate with the highest number of global votes.

In regions allocated two delegates, the second delegate shall be allocated to the second-place candidate with more than 15% of the vote. In this case, Asia-Pacific and Americas each receive one delegate allocated to Secretary Clinton and one delegate allocated to Senator Sanders.

The Europe, Middle East & Africa region is allocated five delegates in total, to be allocated proportionally to the presidential candidates with more than 15% of the global vote. Thus the EMEA region will elect 2 delegates pledged to Secretary Clinton and 3 delegates pledged to Senator Sanders.
