Nice pie charts, but I'd scrub out the caucuses from both sides -- because it is still a mystery to me how these caucuses work, and whether they are a fair representation of how people would have actually voted in those States if they were 'normal' primaries.
The Caucuses have always been susceptible to shenanigans (as Obama showed in 2008 in Iowa).

Caucus...

People cast ballots. They just do it after either, listening to speakers, or ignoring the speakers and just voting. depends on the state. That’s just about all the mystery there is to a GOP Caucus.

In some ways it’s better because people get to listen and learn prior to voting. In some ways it’s worse because who wants to stand around for two hours before voting?

Now the democrats in Iowa use some serious peer pressure prior to voting. The only good is that they winnow the field prior to casting ballots. Very crazy system but one I’d like to watch in action.
