Clinton Delegate Lead Down to 194, Even as Dramatic Miscounting of Delegates by Media Continues

The OP was locked because it was too old to be posted as a LBN. Here it is anew in its proper forum (hopefully).

So it bears repeating: after recent second- and third-stage successes in Missouri, Nevada, and Colorado — that is, after continuing to compete in the second and third stages of delegate selection in these three states, in a way both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have either declined or been unable to do — Sanders has gained 20 net delegates on his Democratic opponent in just the last week, only a fraction of which are reflected in the current delegate count at FiveThirtyEight.com.

This comes after gaining four net delegates in Arizona the week before that.

This means that Clinton’s delegate lead has dropped by 24 in just the last two weeks, and in events barely covered by the media in four of the nation’s fifty states. If similar events were to occur at even a handful of the other 46 state party conventions, Clinton’s lead, even outside any remaining primaries and caucuses, could be greatly imperiled.
