Wha?

"A source with knowledge of the Nevada Democratic Party's projections told The Nation that under the arcane weighting system, Obama would win 13 national convention delegates and Clinton would win 12 delegates. The state party has not released an official count yet.

Barack Obama released an official statement celebrating a delegate victory. 'We came from over twenty-five points behind to win more national convention delegates than Hillary Clinton because we performed well all across the state, including rural areas where Democrats have traditionally struggled,' he said."

The Electoral College seems pretty simple by comparison.

Similar thing happened in New Hamshire as well. Bottom line is both are different, one is the first black man and one is the first woman. Both are different than traditional so it's not at all surprising to see extremely close votes.
