Could you explain who these 76 add-on delegates are and how they are picked on March 1? What is the purpose of naming these delegates later?

The 76 add-on delegates are picked state-by-state over the next 3 months. They're probably intended as wild-card spots that can be used to reward state party bigwigs who didn't become delegates in some other way.
