The Maine Democratic Party recently voted to abolish the influence of superdelegates. Now, other states are clamoring to follow their lead.

Ultimately, to truly restore one person, one vote to our nomination process, the DNC needs to change the rules.

Tell DNC Chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Abolish Superdelegate Voting Dominance!

Superdelegates have the “superpower” to choose the party’s presidential nominee irrespective of the voters’ choice.

The sponsor of the rule change in Maine, Representative Diane Russell, stated, “The reason that I have put this in is we have heard from people all across the state about how frustrated they are that you can actually have a popular vote where 63 percent of the delegates go to one candidate, and yet superdelegates are not voting in proportion to that.”

The new Maine rules mean Superdelegate presidential preferences will be allocated in the same proportion as voter preferences. The change will take effect in 2020.

If enough states make this change at their state conventions, the DNC will be forced to pay attention. But, change won’t happen unless people make our voices heard.
