• The race for the 2020 Democratic nomination is officially on. Following Iowa and New Hampshire, candidates continue their race to the convention with the Nevada caucuses on February 22. 
• The Democratic nomination isn't decided by who wins the most votes, but by which candidates receive the most delegates to represent them.
• The number of delegates each state gets is decided by a number of factors including how big the state is, how Democratic they lean, when they vote, and if they vote with their neighbors.
• At the convention, a candidate will be nominated when a simple majority of 1,991 out of 3,979 total pledged delegates support a given candidate.
