Is it true that Super Delegates are not required to make their vote public? |
|
:wtf:
Not only should their vote be public, but it should mirror the will of the popular vote.
Can anyone confirm or correct that as a SD, you do not have to share with the voters who you will vote for?

1. I've been trying to figure this out too |
|
I posted the question a few days ago, and didn't get any answer. If I find out anything, I'll post it.

2. Votes are reported publicly as state totals |
|
I don't know if votes within the state delegation are recorded somehow.

3. When we signed in at our caucus |
|
we had to publicly declare who we were supporting.
This is a tool for possible abuse and I didn't like it one bit.

4. As far as I know they don't have to say who they vote for until they actually vote at the convention |
