"The campaign of Democratic presidential contender Bernie Sanders added to his estimated delegate count ahead of Saturdays Wyoming caucuses, citing discrepancies in other reported tallies.
The Vermont senator has 1,088 delegate votes compared with 1,302 for front-runner Hillary Clinton, according to an e-mailed statement. That 214-vote gap is narrower than in a recent tally by the Associated Press, which credits Sanders with 1,030 pledged delegates to Clintons 1,280.
The AP puts the total delegate count at 1,749 for Clinton to 1,061 for Sanders when superdelegates -- party leaders and elected officials not formally bound to any candidate -- are included. The Sanders campaign now lists 38 superdelegates in its column versus the APs estimate of 31. Clinton is credited by the AP with 469 superdelegates.
The Sanders team said other tallies had undercounted the candidates delegate haul from a recent landslide caucus victory in Washington state, county-level wins in the Nevada caucuses held in February, and revised awards from the Arizona primary on March 22."

(4,225 posts)Washington state has 101 delegates.
Most media delegate tallies have only allocated 34 (25 for Bernie, 9 for Hillary).
It should be approximately 73-28.
