The bottom line (in bold) is indeed the bottom line. These "precinct votes" are the votes the Democratic party has used for years to determine who is nominated. A candidate must win at least 50+ of these "precinct" votes (a majority) in order to be nominated. "Precinct votes" are the proportion of each precinct's alloted votes that each candidate won. Allotted votes are based on the Democratic vote in a recent past general election -- in this case the Webb vote in 2006. There are 100 allotted votes total with each precinct's share based on its contribution to the Webb vote in 2006. "Precinct votes" are the proportion of the caucus (or ballot) vote in each precinct multiplied by the allotment. For example, Norris got 84 percent (.84) of the JPA vote. His portion of the 16.20 JPA allotment is 13.62. (Figures in the tables have been rounded to 2 decimal places. Actual calculations are more precise.) For City Council - First Count
