But that article is what I had read and seen in a few other interviews...

Weaver acknowledged that while super delegates count toward the nomination, they don't officially count until they vote at the convention.
"I think it'll be an interesting Democratic convention," he said.
The Sanders campaign has urged super delegates -- such as party officials or members of Congress -- who have said they support Clinton to follow the sentiment of their voting districts or states, some which may have gone for Sanders.


It is about the movement in the recent states by the local voters to get their Supers to switch. That one means nothing, but no one has really pushed, "would you want them to switch and help the person with a smaller delegate count". I think that is because they want to avoid the Al Gore thing, where several Republicans were worried Gore would lose the popular vote and win the delegate count and started asking him to step down if that happened. When the opposite occurred, everyone of those talking heads completely vanished from the news. The media did a very poor job of following up on it too, only saw one news show ask what happened to that view in the republicans since that would mean GW would have to step down.
