Democrats limit convention role of superdelegates

Independent, UK - The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has voted to strip an elite group of party insiders of much of their nominating power – a change that could have significant repercussions on the 2020 presidential race.

The approximately 700 superdelegates will be ineligible to vote in first-round ballots for the party’s presidential nominee at the 2020 nominating convention. Instead, they will be called in to vote only in the unlikely event that there is a contested convention and a second-round ballot is required.

Best news heard for a while. As long as a real democracy stripped of political parties struggling to impose their own candidates has not emerged from our present day institutions.
