Bernie Sanders will win Tuesday’s New Hampshire Democratic primary, NBC News projected, setting him up near the top of a fractured presidential field.

The Vermont senator will edge out former South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg. Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota will come in third, according to NBC.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and former Vice President Joe Biden were vying for fourth place as final results came in. Neither candidate will reach the 15% threshold needed to win pledged delegates, statewide and in both of its congressional districts.

The victory gives Sanders an early boost in the push for the Democratic presidential nomination after he left the Iowa caucuses with the second-most pledged national delegates in the field. The process now enters a series of generally larger, more diverse states, where the Vermont senator has outperformed Buttigieg and Klobuchar in polls.

1. He wins with the same number of delegates as Pete?

How is that a win?

2. He got the most votes

Shouldn't the candidate with the most votes win?

3. Did Hillary win with 3000000 more votes?

4. Yes

And the vast majority of us here oppose the EC.
