What is Taking So Long?

The Democrats are at it again.  Just as was the case in Iowa, they can't seem to finish counting the votes from Super Tuesday.  About a quarter of the delegates being awarded by the Super Tuesday states are still not determined.  Just in California there are 145 undetermined delegates two days after the vote.  Remember, this was a primary.  There were no crazy rules like some of the caucuses where people had to vote for first and second and even third places.  The three states with the biggest undetermined number of delegates are California, Texas and Colorado.  California and Colorado went strongly to Bernie Sanders.  Texas was extremely close between Sanders and Biden.  If those numbers hold up in the final tallies, Bernie may well pick up enough delegates to move back ahead of Biden in the totals.  That's not, however, the story that the media is telling.  In the mainstream media, Biden has moved out ahead and may "finish off" Bernie in Michigan in the next primary.  Of course, the same people who have Biden finishing off Sanders also had Biden out of the race just ten days ago.
