Related: About this forumWhat's this about delegates?
I keep seeing that Hillary got more delegates in NH, despite Bernie winning decisively. Is this true, and if so, how is it possible?

(27,247 posts)1. Superdelegates are being attributed to Hillary

To push the illusion of inevidibility. They're only fooling themselves. The superdelegates will fall in line with the pledged delegates at the convention. Otherwise, the civil war is on and the Democratic Party suffers a bloodbath in Nov...including the down ticket races where the superdelegates are running for reelection.

Without the super-delegates the count is Sanders 13, Clinton 9
