Nancy Pelosi Says Superdelegates Should Not Override Voters
Nancy Pelosi states that it could hurt the Democratic Party if superdelegates go against election results.
According to the Associated Press, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that it would be damaging for superdelegates to vote against the will of delegates that were chosen in the primaries and caucuses around the country during the Democratic National Convention.
"If the votes of the superdelegates overturn what's happened in the elections, it would be harmful to the Democratic party," Pelosi said Friday.
Pelosi also clarified that even if one candidate wins the popular vote, it will still be the candidate with the most delegates that will be declared winner.
"It's a delegate race," she said. "The way the system works is that the delegates choose the nominee."
The House Speaker told voters not to expect a Democratic dream ticket, where both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama would be on the ballot in November.
"We will have a dream ticket," Pelosi said according to ABC News. "And it will contain one of them."
Obama currently leads Clinton by 142 delegates, according to a recent AP count.
