I know three of them in my state personally and their vote has never been in question. I think that applies to at least 90% of them.

voting is when you go to the polling place and fill out the form and have it electronically scanned (or whatever your county does) Super Delegates don't vote until the convention.

You mean those who count delegates using Democratic Party rules rather than using your fantasies and challenged arithmetic?

and halfway through they just randomly flashed their bogus delegate count for a couple seconds. And they were the only media assholes who even showed his speech. Cnn was still going on about Hillary and Trump.

We cancelled our newspaper because it followed Dubya's narrative, never questioning his dubiousness. Apparently, many others across the country had the same problem with their newspapers & cancelled theirs, too. We don't like to be lied to by those who are supposed to be watching out for OUR interests.

Were you upset then too?

My local station @Kronnews reported HRC w 2217 and Bernie with 1443 which includes 504 SDs for HRC and 39 SDs for Bernie

I seriously doubt can flip the SDs FROM HRC
