You’re right. I just edited my previous comment. The articles don’t agree. I’m inclined to think the WV specific article is the accurate one, in which case, you’d be right: Clinton got 19 delegates total to Bernie’s 18
Well shit, that settles it. I’m never voting again. Let MAGA burn it all down.
You’re right though as well. In your 2nd link, it does show Bernie getting two superdelegates, though it’s the first time I’ve seen that mentioned and I’ve used that example plenty of times. Somethings fishy here.
In any case, the specific states from which the superdelegates come is arbitrary. They were an unfair practice regardless, and I hope they remain inconsequential from now on.
I voted for Bernie too, and was disappointed (especially in 2020), and angry that the party clearly wanted to put their thumb on the scale for Clinton and Biden. On the other hand, Bernie didn’t come close to winning the popular vote across all states in the 2016 primary, and there was no way I wasn’t going to vote for Clinton against Trump that November.
Check on your first link in the “results” section :/

One of them has to be wrong.
