Though Bernie Sanders won the New Hampshire primary in a landslide over Hillary Clinton, he will likely receive fewer delegates than she will.
Sanders won 60 percent of the vote, but thanks to the Democratic Party’s nominating system, he leaves the Granite State with at least 13 delegates while she leaves with at least 15 delegates.
New Hampshire has 24 “pledged†delegates, which are allotted based on the popular vote. Sanders has 13, and Clinton has 9, with 2 currently allotted to neither.
But under Democratic National Committee rules, New Hampshire also has 8 “superdelegates,†party officials who are free to commit to whomever they like, regardless of how their state votes. Their votes count the same as delegates won through the primary.

Trump would have fought a scorched earth battle over these delegate shenanigans.
Sheeesh...And I thought we had problems with the RNC. Democrats have bigger problems.
Hillary is more equal than others.
You Betcha!

Who is going to tell the little child voters that Sander Claus is only a fantasy?
I read a article in August of last year. Said hil had 60% of the super delegates in the bag.
where did you find those numbers?
It’s fixed. The Democratic Party is not democratic. It’s totally controlled by the inside establishment.

I've read elsewhere that New Hampshire has 8 Democrat superdelegates. At this time, 2 are uncommitted, but 6 have pledged to Hillary. I'm guessing that is not like a binding contract, but more like an endorsement that you can later go back on.
After Sanders’ Big Win in New Hampshire, Establishment Figures Want to Scare You with Superdelegates. Here’s Why It’s Bull——
It’s not a ‘quirk’ - it’s another example of the corrupt democrats use of ‘the fix is in’ mentality.
The whole ‘voter’ thing to them is a ruse... a trick to make their stupid democrat voters think they matter. They don’t. ONLY Democrat Establishment Elites matter.
It’ll be sad when Bernie’s voters wake up to the truth - they’re party is scamming them.
