I have not heard of Super Delegates (or unpledged PLEOs as they call them) being used to swap a state's win or lose column (since they do not vote until the actual convention on the day the winner is decided and they just go popular. That being said I have heard many times of this. They say the state has flipped. So I think technically he may have won it by all the wording I have gotten from multiple state elections boards. One could say one candidate won it on election day or won the popular vote, but I do thing that it is still technically winning by EVERY official I have talked with in MULTIPLE states.

The premise of the OP is simply false Gothmog Apr 2016 #31

Totally incorrect RandySF Apr 2016 #12

How do they get set? In Washington the State the process is similar to what the OP states. rhett o rick Apr 2016 #16

Washington is a caucus RandySF Apr 2016 #18

My mistake. It sounded like a caucus from the OP. nm rhett o rick Apr 2016 #19

Caucuses are different than primaries Gothmog Apr 2016 #32
