Originally, it was projected that Sanders – who won the Democratic caucus against Hillary Clinton by a tally of 60 percent to 40 percent – would earn 38 delegates compared to Clinton’s 28. After tallying Clinton’s support from 10 Colorado superdelegates, the former secretary of state tied Sanders 38-38 in delegates. If she won the support of the last two state superdelegates, Clinton could have actually won Colorado despite losing the primary vote by 20 points.
The juicy bit -
However, the Denver Post uncovered what Colorado Democratic Party Chairman Rick Palacio called “a reporting error on caucus night” that led the party to underreport Sanders’ support in 10 precincts from Denver County by almost four percent. This led to projections showing Clinton would tie Sanders in delegates from that district instead of giving Sanders a two-delegate edge.
