Soft unpledged are super delegates. Soft pledged are the pledged (7) delegates that VI has for its caucus.

They're in the same time zone as the east coast. I'm in MA, and it's currently 5:08pm ET. The time should be the same there.

Wish we had more to report. All the VI Dems are stating is they are still counting. There is an unconfirmed report Sanders won St John.

But I think there are 12 possible delegates, so I don't think the waiting is over.

This includes 4 or 5 super delegates.
