This day is not over by any means. For example Alabama has 50 delegates but only 30 have been assigned so far.

Alabama’s delegate rules can best be described as “winner-take-most.” Under that system, if a candidate gets more than 50 percent of the vote in a congressional district or is the only candidate to receive over 20 percent of the vote, he will receive all three of the delegates available there. Trump will have a difficult time hitting 50 percent, but he will likely win two of the three delegates in districts where he finishes first, as long as he and the second-place finisher each receive at least 20 percent. (The runner-up will get the other district delegate.) If a candidate earns more than 50 percent of the statewide vote, he will receive all 29 of the statewide delegates. However, if no one reaches that mark, all candidates with over 20 percent statewide will get a proportional share of those 29.

There are various sorts of allocation rules all over the South. The delegate count will change across the South in the next few days when all the results are analyzed in depth.
