The important thing to remember is that there are a lot of also rans on the NH ballot because the ballot access rules are laughably lenient. Those also rans + O'Malley (yes, he's on the ballot as well) probably combine for 2 to 3 percent of the vote. So Bernie getting 55% would be a 55-43 or 55-42 win, not 55-45.

Although, this does raise an interesting question. If a district does vote 55-43, then according to your table, that would be a 4-3 allocation with 1 delegate left over. Who gets the final delegate?
