9. This practice has already skewed the election

as it was intended to do, no doubt. It invalidates all the vote numbers that are touted 24/7.

Every single vote since the beginning of the Primary has been influenced by these phony super delegate totals, that never were supposed to be reported in advance.

From the first vote, some number of people seeing a big (fictional) lead like that think, 'oh well I'll vote for one who's ahead by so much, most people seem to think she's the best choice'.

This Primary has been a joke from start to finish.
