*Results of Democratic contests in Michigan and Florida did not originally count because of a party dispute over the date the contests were held. The Democratic Party backed a compromise to seat the disputed Michigan and Florida delegations at reduced strength, cutting their voting power in half.

**Texas had a two-step process: Clinton won the primary and Obama won the caucus. Obama won more total delegates in the state.
