Superdelegates are ripping off voters, placing Clinton ahead of Sanders in states where he actually won more votes

Superdelegates are ripping off voters, placing Clinton ahead of Sanders in states where he actually won more votes | 29 March 2016 | After winning five-straight state primaries in relative blowout fashion, Bernie Sanders has cut significantly into Hillary Clinton's pledged delegate lead. According to the most recent totals, Clinton currently has 1,267 pledged delegates to Bernie's 1,037...What's disturbing, though, is that in spite of the actual closeness of the contest between them, members of the political establishment, called superdelegates, are going against the will of the voters in their own states to support Clinton over Sanders.
