By the numbers: Here's a look at the DFL delegate count

Since 64B has gone to the DFL for decades, it's probably a worthwhile effort to look at the party mechanism that's likely to pick the next representative for the area. 

Here's what the Senate District emailed out to candidates late last month for a head count:

Precinct	Delegates
ST. PAUL W-2 P-06	11
ST. PAUL W-3 P-01	36
ST. PAUL W-3 P-02	43
ST. PAUL W-3 P-03	47
ST. PAUL W-3 P-04	25
ST. PAUL W-3 P-05	27
ST. PAUL W-3 P-06	36
ST. PAUL W-3 P-08	29
ST. PAUL W-3 P-09	44
ST. PAUL W-3 P-10	29
ST. PAUL W-3 P-11	29
ST. PAUL W-3 P-13	34
ST. PAUL W-3 P-14	62
ST. PAUL W-4 P-07	31
Total	483

The DFL has a standard 60 percent endorsement requirement; that would mean a candidate will have to get 299 delegates to win the endorsement -- if everybody shows up.

"I think we'll come close to filling everything," says Elizabeth Wefel, a Senate District 64 chair.

The precinct caucuses are 55 days away.
