31. Good point
Many states got bonus delegates this year because they agreed to keep their primaries late in the year. My home state of Oregon was one of those states and it actually ended up paying off in two ways 1) bonus delegates; 2) more attention put on the state then ever before because it was crucial late in the election. We definitely took a gamble on leaving our primary where it was, versus the rush of other states that said, "me, me, me, me".

Back on topic:

It's great that PR gets some attention in the primary given they don't get to vote in the GE. They (along with some of the other territories) deserve a place in the sun every once in awhile.
