Election Results at the moment

I thought it would be sort of simple to follow the election, but they don't even have the same vote in the same state at the same time - ie, republicans have a vote in State A, but the democrats don't have a vote in that state until later. Complicating the matter are caucuses, and 52 states. I think it is spreadsheet time...
Until then:
Republican - 1,237 needed for nomination. 1,435 available
Trump - 458
Cruz - 359
Rubio - 151
Kasich - 54

Democratic - 2,383 required for nomination, 2,968 available
Clinton - 1,233
Sanders - 574
But both have a portion of superdelegates, who can support any candidate, whose vote isn't final until the convention, which is in July.

The plot thickens...
