About My Delegate-Counting Methods

I have been asked about how I have been getting my delegate counts.

Well, I use a variety of sources to get a good estimate. Many are higher, many are lower.

I input the information into the Aagardorian2000 which then spits out the final numbers.

I realize that doesn't answer any questions, but that's my answer....
