In response to "The Dems have no winner take all states. -- nm" by ty97

Everything is proportional. Some delegates awarded at statewide level, some at congressional delegate level.

In each case, anyone who beats 15% will get at least some delegates.

So if we have a state with three Congressional Districts and say the vote is:

Statewide
Candidate A - 40%
Candidate B - 25%
Candidate C - 15%

Each candidate gets some of the statewide delegates

CD 1
Candidate A - 35%
Candidate B - 35%
Candidate C - 10%

Candidates A and B gets some of CD 1's delegates.

CD 2
Candidate A - 25%
Candidate B - 30%
Candidate C - 15%

All three get some delegates from CD2

CD3
Candidate A - 65%
Candidate B - 14%
Candidate C - 13%

Candidate A gets all of CD 3's delegates (by virtue of being the only viable candidate, i.e. candidate over 15%, in the CD. It's not a WTA thing, just no one else broke 15%)
