You do know that Bernie could still win more delegates in NY

while getting fewer votes in the popular vote.
The way that delegates are apportioned, by Congressional District sort of favor this. Clinton's support is in NYC, Sanders' support is upstate. Therefore it is possible for Bernie to win the upstate CDs, while losing some of the NYC and LI CDs.
This just dawned on me this morning.
I am sure that Bernie shall win NY, even if this is a remote possibility.

It counted votes after the fact - similar to one of the other states recently (can't remember which one).
