Iowa is proportional awarded delegates, awarded by voting district.

So if--for instance--Sanders dominates college campuses but doesn't perform well in the general population, Mrs. Clinton could receive the lion's share of the district votes while not winning by a large percentage.

You can expect the rather arcane--but established, published, and damned well known--nature of the delegate apportion to be something the Sanders people scream about the next morning.
