Poll question: How Should Superdelegates Vote?
If you believe SDs votes should reflect the popular vote, there are a few consideratins:

Should they reflect the popular vote? Or the elected delegate vote?

Should it reflect the vote of the state or the nation?

Then of course there are questions, if you say NATION, of whether you include FL in your assessment or not.

What do you think - and why?

1. I'll be very curious to see if anything other than "as they see fit" wins this poll.

4. I voted for the yellow bar.
With the understanding that popular vote would only be counted in states where legitimate elections were held.

5. Other: Superdelegates should abstain from voting...
...until we can retool the primary process and get rid of superdelegates entirely.

6. You can't quantify the popular vote because of the caucus system, so delegates.
Generally, they should go with the front runner.

8. vote as they see fit.
But if they do vote against the way people voted it will destroy this party. I am sure most of them will be smart enough to understand that.
