    Unfortunately SC appears to have an uncommon winner takes all approach so even though one of them earned enough to get one of the 55 delegates they were instead awarded to Biden.

    Are you sure about that? I don’t remember any Democratic primary states doing winner take all. The allocation is different depending on the party. Republicans have a lot of states that work that way.

      I’m just going by what I saw. 100% / 55 = 1.8% so by that logic one of the runner ups would have a delegate but for some reason it showed Biden had 55.

        Delegates aren’t awarded by simple percentage of vote. There are minimum amounts before you receive delegates.
