How many delegates does Wyoming have?

Bill Luckett, communications director of the Wyoming Democratic Party, sent out an e-mail this weekend as a reminder of how the state's Dem delegates are partitioned. Here are the numbers:

Eighteen delegates, breaks down to six unpledged delegates, and 12 pledged delegates.

UNPLEDGED DELEGATES

Five "superdelegates." These people are entitled to go to the convention, and they do not have to pledge support for any candidate. Wyoming's superdelegates are Gov. Dave Freudenthal, state party Chairman John Millin, state party Vice Chair Nancy Drummond, National Committeeman Pete Jorgensen, and National Committeewoman Cynthia Nunley.

One "unpledged party leader/elected official." This person is entitled to go to the convention, and he/she does not have to pledge support for any candidate. The state party chairman will nominate one or more people for this delegate position, and the person will be elected by the delegates to the Democratic State Convention on May 23-24.

PLEDGED DELEGATES

Seven "district-level delegates" (and three alternates). They will be awarded to the presidential candidates based on the percentage of the vote each receives statewide in the March 8 county caucuses/conventions, with the allocation to each candidate to reflect the vote as closely as possible. This is based on the raw vote totals, or the popular vote, NOT the number of delegates to the state convention.

Three "at-large delegates." (and one alternate). They will be awarded to the presidential candidates based on the vote by the delegates at the Democratic State Convention on May 23-24. The delegates to the state convention, and which candidates they are pledged to support, will be determined within each county based on the percentage of the vote each candidate receives at the March 8 county caucuses/conventions.

Two "pledged party leader/elected officials." They will be awarded to the presidential candidates based on the vote by the delegates at the Democratic State Convention on May 23-24. The delegates to the state convention, and which candidates they are pledged to support, will be determined within each county based on the percentage of the vote each candidate receives at the March 8 county caucuses/conventions.
