Also, that's not even relevant for two reasons:
1) The delegates are assigned proportionally, so winning a state doesn't mean you get all the delegates.
2) The underlining issue isn't that Bernie won or didn't win certain states, it's that this was supposed to be a fair election for the Democratic nominee. The DNC are supposed to be impartial since they are the ones organizing the primaries and caucuses. If the DNC are even just talking about trying to make one of the candidates look bad, it's a sign that they aren't impartial. Rather, it's clear that not only did the DNC support Clinton from the start, they may have actively tried to sabotage the Sanders campaign. Clearly the DNC don't think their superdelegates are enough of an afront to democracy; they need to use dirty tricks too.
