After Crushing Defeat, DNC Quirk Still Gives Hillary More New Hampshire Delegates Than Sanders
Daily Caller ^

Posted on 02/10/2016 7:03:55 AM PST by TigerClaws

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.

Could be ‘68 riots at the convention!

That would be amusing.

Cool - they're just running around doing busy-work - there is no "process" involved. The Democrats run their party the same way they govern - totalitarian. Bernie is getting burned by the same tactics Obola used to take out Rancid Hag in 2008. Unless earth gets hit by an asteroid or something Hitlery will be the nominee.

Pretty much, yeah. Now Bernie could win outright by winning all of the major primaries remaining. Gut that is probably a long shot. Who knows though.

Like another Freeper around here said, gas up the paddy wagons and dust off the riot gear. Maybe a '68 Demo Covention v2.0 coming right up.
