Voting Malfunctions: Obama Votes in Harlem Not Counted
By Jeralyn, Section Elections 2008

The bad news is voting machines malfunctioned in Harlem and many Obama votes didn't get counted. The good news: It's being rectified.

The tip-off: Several Harlem precincts recorded 0 votes for Obama.

That anomaly was not unique. In fact, a review by The New York Times of the unofficial results reported on primary night found about 80 election districts among the city’s 6,106 where Mr. Obama supposedly did not receive even one vote, including cases where he ran a respectable race in a nearby district.

(snip)

There could be a slight re-arranging of delegates after the recount, to Obama's favor, particularly if Brooklyn votes were also miscounted:

On primary night, Mrs. Clinton was leading with 57 percent to Mr. Obama’s 40 percent in New York State, which meant she stood to win 139 delegates to Mr. Obama’s 93, with 49 others known as superdelegates going to the national convention unaffiliated.

....On Feb. 5, Mrs. Clinton carried 61 of the state’s 62 counties but won Brooklyn by a margin of less than 2 percent. Because delegates are awarded proportionately on the basis of the primary vote in each Congressional district, Obama supporters expressed hope that if the official count continued in their favor, they might gain an additional delegate or two.

14. The original blog that this article refers to was reported on DU a couple of

days ago, but this article is very helpful. The value of the article is it explains in detail how delegates are split in a district.

For this reason if Hillary Clinton wins a state by 53% or 59% it may mean zero difference in delegates. That is why even a significant improvement in Clinton's performance will mean little or no difference in delegate count and even a landslide performance will not be enough to catch up in the delegate count.
