Here's how the delegates go:

Open primary: each vote worth 1 delegate.
Semi-Open: each vote worth 2 delegates.
Closed: each vote worth 2 delegates.

If a vote if for a candidate, there will be no human delegate, just a delegate-in-name that is pledgesd to a candidate.  But if there are uncommitted votes, there are human delegates and the human delegates may vote for whoever they want at the convention.

**Please note: each vote in the open primary counts as one delegate, and each vote in the closed primary counts as two delegates.  The winner must have a majority of delegates or the previous nominee of the party will appoint sombody to be the nominee, OTHER THAN HIMSELF.  Even in uncommitted wins a majority, or prevents a candidate from winning a majority, this rule applies.**

April 10-11: Open Primary, all Registered Voters may cast ballots.
April 17-18: Semi-Open Primary, only Democrats and Independents may vote.
May 1-2: Closed Primary, only registered Democrats may vote.

So basically, a Democratic member has 5 delegates?
and an Independent has 3 delegates? Is a progressive member considered an independent?

a democrat has 5 delegates if you go by your logic, not 4 and an independent has 3.

Let me clarify.

A vote in the open primary is worth one delegate.  It makes no difference what your party reg is.

A vote in the closed and semi-closed primary is worth 2 delegates, regardless of party reg.

Okay, I knew that, but is a Progressive considered an independent?
