Clinton, Trump share Missouri delegates with challengers

VOTEJEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — National front-runners Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will share some of Missouri’s delegates with their challengers in the presidential primaries.  

Despite Clinton winning the statewide vote totals, so far it appears Senator Bernie Sanders will collect more delegates. Democratic delegates are divided proportionally based on statewide and congressional district votes.

So far, Sanders has 32 delegates and Clinton 31, with eight delegates remaining to be allocated.

Mr. Trump narrowly led Texas Senator Ted Cruz in the Republican statewide tally.  Republicans will award 12 delegates to the top statewide vote-getter and five to the winners in each congressional district. Trump so far has 25 congressional district delegates and Cruz five, with two districts still to be determined.

The delegate allocation is complicated because of close races and districts that split county voting jurisdictions.
