The state Democratic Party in California Sunday called for the elimination of the use of superdelegates, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The party issued a resolution urging the Democratic National Committee to change its nominating rules for the 2020 presidential election. Though it doesn't have any official power, it is a symbolic statement from the state that holds the largest primary.
