Hillary gets more NH delegates than Sanders?

"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% of the vote, but thanks to the Democratic Party’s nominating system, [Bernie Sanders] leaves the Granite State with at least 13 delegates while [Hillary] leaves with at least 15 delegates." Now, what kind of system is that?  You go in and you get skunked, you get schlonged, you get landslid'd out by 22 points -- and you leave the state with two more delegates than Bernie.  
Bernie's always talking about how this system's rigged and that system's rigged and everything else, the economy's rigged and Wall Street's rigged.  Wait 'til he finds out that New Hampshire was rigged.  His reaction is gonna be, "Wait a minute! I got 60% of the vote; she got 38% of it. What do you mean, I got two fewer delegates?"  New Hampshire has 24 pledged delegates which are allotted based on the popular vote.  Sanders has 13; Clinton has nine.  There are two currently allotted to neither, but under committee rules, DNC rules, New Hampshire has eight superdelegates, and Hillary owns them."
