He endorsed Sanders and got a flood of positive replies from supporters of Sanders, including asking about how to volunteer for and donate to his campaign. He said that seeing things like that may help other politicians believe that endorsing who they really want to endorse is not as dangerous to their careers as they might imagine. And he is a STATE rep. That's how far all this goes.

In any event, I don't believe people vote for President based on endorsements by super delegates and I don't believe that super delegates will overturn a popular primary vote.

Voting machines, however, may be a problem.
