So far, voters have made their voice heard for the candidate of their choice in two states. In Iowa, Hillary Clinton only managed to beat Bernie Sanders with .3 percent of the vote. In N.H., however, she lost with 38 percent to Sanders’ 60.4 percent.
Despite her razor thin win in one state and tremendous loss in another, Hillary has a commanding lead of 394 delegates, to Sanders’ 42 delegates.
As the Daily Caller explained, Hillary has at least 15 delegates from N.H. after her loss, which is more than Sanders’ at least 13 delegates, because of the state’s super delegates.
The pledged delegates based on popular vote provided Sanders with 13, Hillary with nine, and two uncommitted. There are eight super delegates though, which count just as much.
This result is frustrating to those who just want to see a fair election, but to Sanders’ supporters as well, and likely to millennials who support him especially. Millennials came out to overwhelmingly support Sanders in both Iowa and N.H.
