Maine super delegates: Respect the will of the voters
Bernie Sanders won Maine with 64 percent of the vote. He should get 64 percent of the delegates, no less.
I support reforming the super delegate process in Maine so that super delegates are allocated in proportion to the popular vote.

Why is this important?
Bernie Sanders won the Maine Democratic caucus by a whopping 64 to 36 margin.
And yet because of super delegates, Secretary Clinton could end up with almost exactly the same number of Maine delegates as Bernie.
That's just not right.
As a Maine Democrat and state representative, I'm proposing an amendment that will be offered at the party convention to reform the super delegate process to ensure that delegates are allocated in line with the popular vote.
