The Hill<\/a> is reporting today that Hillary Clinton will leave New Hampshire<\/a> with the same number of delegates as a result of the New Hampshire primary<\/a> as Bernie Sanders<\/a>. Despite the fact that Sanders won by approximately 20 percent, they will have an equal delegate count. If this doesn’t make the average Democratic voter furious, nothing will.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Clinton won nine delegates in the primary\u00a0but came into the contest with the support of six superdelegates, who are state party insiders given the freedom to support any candidate they choose.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Superdelegate support is fluid, though, so some of those delegates now backing Clinton could switch to Sanders before the Democratic National Convention in late July.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But as it stands, the superdelegate support gives Clinton a total of 15 New Hampshire delegates.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Clinton campaign<\/a> has mounted an aggressive effort to secure about 360 superdelegates across the country, according to The Associated Press. Sanders has a total of eight superdelegates.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is amazing. There is actually a possibility that Bernie Sanders could win every state primary and Hillary Clinton could be the Democratic party<\/a> nominee for President. If that doesn’t make voters angry–nothing will. Either your primary vote counts or it doesn’t.. In this case, it looks like it doesn’t.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Clinton’s superdelegate supporters includes Gov. Maggie Hassan<\/a>, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen<\/a>, and Rep. Annie Kuster<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She’s also backed by Democratic National Committee<\/a> members Joanne Dodwell,\u00a0Billy Shaheen and Kathy Sullivan<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It looks like the fix is in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
