California will send 441 delegates to the Democratic National Convention. 370 will be determined by the primary election on Tuesday, of which 241 will be determined at the Congressional District Level. As we saw in Nevada, whether a district has an even or odd number of delegates will count a lot towards whether the popular vote winner there actually will get a delegate advantage.
There are 53 Congressional Districts in California. 21 will send an odd number of delegates to the national convention - 2 CDs with 3 delegates and 19 with 5. Any delegate who carries any of these CDs will automatically get a 1-delegate advantage. However, it will be extremely difficult for either candidate to win by a sufficiently large amount to gain a 3-delegate advantage over the other.
The other 32 congressional districts all have an even number of delegates. Unless whoever wins that district does so by a near landslide, whoever wins the district will not win an advantage in the number of delegates. Of these 32 districts, six will send 6 delegates to the national convention and the rest will send 4.
Here's a look at all 53 districts in California and who I predict will come out ahead.
