If the majority of Republican voters voted for Obama, how did that help Hillary? LA Times reporters are apparently bad at basic arithmetic.

Yep, I noticed that, too.

...possibly enough GOP hijinks to make a difference in Texas. Only 9% of voters in the Democratic primary there were Republican and Obama, as he has elsewhere, drew more of them than Clinton.... Clinton won the Texas vote with 50.9%, compared to 47.4% for Obama, or roughly a 100,000-vote difference. Was the Republican vote the margin of Clinton's victory? Hard to say, but it certainly added to her margin...

The reporter is clearly a product of the government schools.

The article explained how that helped Hildabeast-—by increasing her margin of victory.

In a proportional system, which the Rats have, EVERY crossover vote helped that candidate by increasing the margin of victory/defeat.

Delegates are awarded based on the popular vote and the margin.
