I think the difference in the delegate numbers reported is probably due to the 796 "superdelegates" (members of Congress, governors, party leaders, etc) who, unlike the elected delegates in the primaries, are not formally committed or bound to either candidate but are currently "leaning" one way or the other.
The Florida and Michigan issue of having their primaries invalidated (at least in terms of bound delegates) because they were held prior to Super Tuesday has yet to be resolved.
