We have come to the point in the race for the Democratic and Republican nominations where winning a state is less important than winning delegates. This was the case last night in New York. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump won convincing victories in their home states, but what really matters is how many delegates they won. We won’t know that for sure for a while. Votes are reported by counties; delegates are awarded by congressional districts, and once the votes are in they have to be mapped onto congressional districts. Nonetheless we can say this for sure—Donald Trump’s big win will be worth more than Hillary Clinton’s big win.
