Congressional Black Caucus chair blasts proposed superdelegate changes

[Sophia4]

287. Good luck in Texas. We will have to agree to disagree on super delegates.

I'm in California and really sore that our state's votes count for so little in the presidential elections compared to the votes of other states. It makes no difference how I vote. California is true blue and only gets a limited number of votes per vote in the electoral college.

The delegates to the national convention, that is the slate and the number of delegates per candidate, are elected by the voters. For me, one person, one vote is very important and especially important because I live and vote in California.

If our votes in California had been counted fairly, that is, in my view, one person one vote and not 1 elector for each senator and for each representative, Hillary would be president.

So now you can understand why I am so vehement about one person, one vote. For me, it is an important principle that should not be violated at any level.

Texas is probably also shortchanged in the electoral college, but the lack of a fair voice and representation is not quite as bad for Texans as it is for us Californians.

Good luck in your law practice. It's hard work, but gives you the opportunity to do a lot of good.
