The New York primary is rather 28 separate primaries as 81 of the delegates will be distributed on the basis of results in the state's 27 congressional districts and 14 will distributed at large based on the statewide results. It takes winning over 50% of the vote to be allocated all three delegates from a district. If the winner has a mere plurality, the delegates are allocated proportionally. These 27 districts include urban minority enclaves, affluent suburbs, small cities and vast stretches of rural areas.

 

Another crucial factor is that New York is closed primary: Not only can't Independents participate in the party primaries, but there is an exceptionally long lead time for changing party affiliation. While new voters could register by March 25 and qualify to vote on April 19, the deadline for those who were already registered to change their party affiliation was October 9, 2015.
