2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhy did Hillary lose FOUR Super Delegates?
Last edited Tue Apr 19, 2016, 01:02 PM - Edit history (1)
I regularly check the Green Papers to follow the pledged and unpledged (super) delegate count.
As of Friday, Hillary had 480 super delegates supporting her and Bernie had 40.
Today, Hillary has 476 to Bernie's 40. What happened to the four? Any news on who withdrew support and why?

EDIT: Failure to do simple math this morning, it is four lost.

OP
Based on the vote, they switched to Sanders. Other losses were after official count.

No, they would not have to recommit. But who unendorsed Hillary? Who did she lose?

This is unpledged only.

Just a guess.

This seems newsworthy.

Check to see which state had a drop and then review the automatic delegates for the state.
