Sanders backers pushing resolution calling for Wisconsin superdelegates to vote in line with primary

Wispolitics.com:

A group of Bernie Sanders supporters is pushing a resolution ahead of this weekend’s Dem state convention that would call for Wisconsin’s 10 superdelegates to cast their votes in line with the results of the state’s April primary the Vermont senator won handily.

Delegates are already slated to consider a resolution that would call for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin to support abolishing the superdelegate system.

Buzz Davis, who is leading the effort, said the group wants to amend that resolution to add the language calling for the state’s superdelegates to split 6-4 in Sanders’ favor. Currently, six superdelegates have pledged their support to Hillary Clinton, one is supporting Sanders and the other three have not committed to a candidate. Sanders won Wisconsin's presidential primary with nearly 56.6 percent of the vote.

The state party said superdelegate rules are set by the Democratic National Committee and any resolution would be nonbinding.

1. More of Bernie-ites trying to steal votes. So this is where the election fraud starts.

2. What about Raul Grijvala?

He should switch his vote since Hillary won Arizona.

4. A State party can't override the convention rules or

change anything regarding super delegates. That's a national party thing. They could urge their state's super delegates to vote a certain way, but couldn't compel them to do so.

Wisconsin's Democratic Party has already approved the 2016 rules regarding delegates. That happened before this year, and won't be altered.

5. DNC has to approve this change and so this exercise is meaningless
