Superdelegates

The Democratic nomination process differs from the GOP process in this way: it has 712 wild cards with an outsized amount of power -- the superdelegates. They represent about 15 percent of the 4,763 delegates who will formally choose the nominee, but what exactly is a superdelegate?

2016, high and tight
