Google: show caucus results WITHOUT SUPERDELEGATES
In Google's current format, we are only able to view caucus results of the 2016 U.S. Presidential Primaries that include the votes of Superdelegates.
Civically engaged citizens should be able to easily view both:
A) results of Delegates alone
B) and also results including Superdelegates.
Additionally, the results should be visible both with AND WITHOUT Superdelegates as accumulative total results of all state caucuses as well as on a state-by-state basis.

Why is this important?
Many Americans may be unaware of the distinction between regular delegates and superdelegates, and therefore may be misled by Google's current format for showing the Democratic Party's primary election results.
It is important that media sources and popular search engines report these results in an impartial and transparent manner by clearly reporting regular delegates that have been fairly won through the democratic process.
Google's current reporting of superdelegate votes is misleading. While many superdelegates have already stated support for a particular candidate, superdelegates are being called upon to preserve the democratic process and respect the popular vote.
Although a superdelegate may have stated support for a particular candidate early on, it is unlikely they would expressly go against their voter's wishes. Therefore, until the popular vote has been cast, making a candidate appear far more popular through display of superdelegates is misleading and must be changed.
Please ask Google to display poll results first and foremost WITHOUT SUPERDELEGATES and then with the option of separately viewing results including Superdelegates.
