Even pledged delegates under DNC rules can change their vote. Candidates have absolute approval rights over delegates and real campaigns carefully vet their delegates. Your may still work but it will take some work with the campaigns keeping their delegates informed

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
