I think the 1st 2 states out of the gate were very fishy.

In Iowa they wouldn't release the actual vote count and after a delay of some time gave Hillary the win.
When questioned on why they wouldn't at least give the popular vote counts they said that they don't do that in the primaries... but some reporters pointed out that they had always done so in the past.
Many speculated that Bernie had won and the Democratic Party did not want to embarrass Hillary nor give Bernie any momentum so they hid the actual popular vote totals, then gave most of the Super Delegate votes to Hillary and declared her the winner.
In New Hampshire Bernie won by a lot in the popular vote, but then after the super delegates were added the final delegate count from NH was amazingly close, and I think Hillary still had the lead in total delegates, though Bernie had to have received more votes for the two states combined... and a somewhat similar pattern continued.
Later on Bernie had won something like 8 states in a row but the media was still acting like Hillary was a lock for the nomination. I guess she was, but only because it was a rigged game all along.
