Colorado Democrats Miscounted Caucus Results, Costing Sanders 1 Delegate

HeadlineApr 13, 2016

New results from Colorado show Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders won one more delegate than initially reported. The Denver Post reports the Colorado Democratic Party admitted this week that it misreported the March 1 caucus results from 10 precinct locations. While Hillary Clinton’s campaign discussed the error with state party officials last week, the Sanders campaign apparently didn’t find out until Monday, when they were informed by The Denver Post. Clinton had been projected to win the majority of Colorado’s 78 delegates because of her support from unelected superdelegates. But the corrected tally means the worst Sanders could do is a tie; if he wins one superdelegate, he could win the Colorado delegation. This comes as Sanders and Clinton prepare to face off at a debate in Brooklyn, New York, on Thursday.
