About those Super Delegates....

[DeGreg]

What's the procedure for counting their votes OFFICIALLY? Is there a tally, a role call vote, are they assembled in one place at one time? And, how can their votes be verified, or audited after they vote? And, will we be able to see them cast their votes ON CAMERA (by some media outlet pretending to cover the process)? I'd like to see the faces of all the super delegates as they vote--because right now they are phantoms and I'd really like to know they are real people who vote rather than just another work around or some other way to game the voting public.

1. heh, I think they will be laying low, espcially this year

The spotlight has been on them, and most people seem to not like them, except for a few Hillary supporters, who seem to like the super delegates and what they represent.

13. There's only one side where anybody's asking superdelegates to change the outcome.

It's not Hillary supporters.

2. They vote alongside their state's pledged delegates

As far as being "phantoms"...

Many of them are people you should know already if you're familiar with the party. Senators, Representatives, Governors. SOme guys in Washington named Barack and Joe...

4. Some dude called Bill too

I think he's in there.

5. yep...lose your ability to practice law...

How about being a" Super Delegate"

we're better than this...we're supposed to be Democrats!

10. I think that poster is from the U.K.

I saw them say that in a different thread, so they are not a "Democrat", they are not from the United States. {Which also explains the UK flag }

[alcibiades_mystery]

12. The poster is an American living abroad

What an embarrassing post, in any case.

6. so there's a list of exactly who they are?

I appreciate your reply. Was looking for more detailed information. And, thanks for the "Should" because as you well know every single democrat in the party already knows them all by name and can list them, and must recite their names out loud just like you as part of the party's honor pledge or in order to vote or belong, or some shit like that. You're the Mack Daddy/Mama no doubt. I'll be a better person next time I post, I promise.

Google is your friend. It is not a secret.

Their votes are included with the states numbers as they are called at the national convention.


Have you watched a national convention on tv before?

11. Barack and Joe?

Never heard of 'em.

Who are they?

[Agony]

14. Most of them are DNC members

at least the PLEO's that are "Elected Officials" have been elected to something...

[RobertEarl]

3. Fairy votes!

Not representing anyone but the PTB that appointed them to their fairy positions. Great position if you can get it!

15. Democratic

Senators and Representatives are "not representing anyone"? Ok, let us reward these SD's like regular pledged delegates (proportionately). Guess what happens when you do that, Bernie still fails to get a majority of delegates.

17. How about the lobbyists?

Who do they represent?

[lancer78]

18. The person

I replied to made a general statement regarding super-delegates. He/she stated that the did not represent "anyone". I do think those who are not current or former elected democrats need to be removed as super-delegates. Of course, that would also remove people like the head of the autoworkers union, who represents hundreds of thousands of union workers.

19. Bernie is a superdelegate. n/t
