With St Thomas just reporting unofficially as

591 HC 82 BS

add to that the figures from St Johns  NOW CORRECTED ON VI DEMS FACEBOOK PAGE

BS 54  + 82 = 136

HC 36 + 591 = 627.

By my reading, The pool of delegates from those two islands will be 3-1 Clinton.

We already know she clobbered Sanders in St Croix, taking all 3 delegates there.

Meaning the split will be 6-1 Clinton

On to Puerto Rico.

UPDATE  while Nate Silver has agreed with me that it is a 6-1 split, there is some chatter that if Clinton is over 85% for the total, that despite Bernie being barely viable in the district of St Thomas / St Johns, she would sweep all 7 delegates.

Adding the figures from St Croix, which were

681 HC   + 627 = 1308 50 BS    + 136   =    186 8 uncom + 10  = 18

Total votes = 1512

85% of that would bve 1285.2, meaning if the unofficial numbers hold up, and the total 85% rule applies, Clinton will sweep all 7.

Just don’t know the rules on that.  Am checking.

2nd UPDATE — according to the Green Papers, the 85% threshold rule applies within each district, so what I originally said, and what Nate Silver says, seems to be true — it is a 6-1 split.
