If in remembering right, since the DNC was criticized with inflating Hillary's numbers over Bernie,they changed their policy to not allowing super delegates on the first ballot. In all, I think the super delegates accounts for something like 25%. Matt probably should field this one lol.

Her regular delegate count was the same as he popular vote count (55% for both). She did receive far more super delegates, but Bernie would have needed over 75% of super delegates to pass her (something he briefly courted trying to make happen). 

Currently, you just need a majority of the pledged/regular delegates to win. Super delegates now come into play if that doesn't happen, but they only account for about 15% of the total delegates.
