How the Delegates are divided in the Republican Primary - "Winner Take All" but only if the 'winner' wins all Districts. These are mostly "bound delegates".
Tuesday 5 April 2016: All 42 of Wisconsin's delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders in today's Wisconsin Presidential Primary.
24 district delegates are to be allocated to presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the 8 congressional districts: each congressional district is assigned 3 National Convention delegates and the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in that district will receive all 3 of that district's National Convention delegates. (Republican Party of Wisconsin Constitution Article X Section 5.)
18 at-large delegates (10 base at-large delegates plus 5 bonus delegates plus 3 RNC delegates) are to be bound to the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in the primary statewide. (Republican Party of Wisconsin Constitution Article X Section 6)
National Convention Delegates are bound by the results of the primary unless either released by the candidate or the candidate fails to receive at least 1/3 of the total votes cast in any vote for nomination. (Article X Sections 3. and 4.)
Tuesday 5 April 2016: 86 of 96 delegates to the Democratic National Convention are pledged to presidential contenders based on the results of the voting in today's Wisconsin Presidential Primary. A mandatory 15 percent threshold is required in order for a presidential contender to be pledged National Convention delegates at either the congressional district or statewide level. How the Democratic Proportional Delegate Allocation Math works.
57 district delegates are to be pledged proportionally to presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the State's 8 congressional districts.
In addition, 29 delegates are to be pledged to presidential contenders based on the primary vote statewide.
19 at-large National Convention delegates
10 Pledged

I believe they close at 8 Central/9 Eastern (roughly 80 minutes from now).
This is true - my mistake.
It's a bit unusual to see both of the Front Runners (Clinton & Trump) as "underdogs".
Should be interesting to follow - although there are not that many Delegates involved.

I just hope nobody on here will try to imply that this was some grand victory for Sanders. He's been predicted to win Wisconsin for weeks now. So, there'll be nothing surprising about a Sanders win tonight.

True. Clinton won the Confederacy as predicted. Nothing surprising there. If she loses WI, will it be the 8th loss in a row?
It is really, really important to downplay all victories by Sanders. Lets hope and pray together, UrbanCrossroads.

Just some downplaying of expectations.
It's not a huge number of delegates but a Cruz victory would give him some additional momentum and reduce Trump's chances of reaching 1,237 before the convention.
A Sanders win would continue his momentum but wouldn't change the arithmetic much. For him to have a chance, he will need to win NY which will not happen. After losing NY, he will lose many other states soon after and his campaign will be over.
