Democratic Superdelegates Are Officially Abolished

An amendment has been made to completely eliminate the influence of superdelegates at the Maine Democratic Party’s statewide convention this week.  Rep. Diane Russell, who introduced the amendment, said that once it passed the crowd erupted into chants of “Bernie! Bernie!,” in celebration. USuncut.com reports: “I never expected this kind of response from the amendment,” Russell said in a phone interview.
