4:34Now PlayingShyla Nelson explains to TYT's Eric Byler the strategy behind The Superdelegate Challenge Initiative, a grassroots effort that originated among voters in various states who are Bernie Sanders supporters to address the issue of Superdelegate votes warping the numbers for convention delegates coming from a given state, and undermining the will of the people.
The remedy sought by the coalition is to diminish the worth of super delegate votes to reflect the popular vote in the state that those delegates represent. For instance, super delegates who have promised to vote for Hillary Clinton would have a 1/2 or 1/4 vote, instead of a full vote, if they represent a state that voted or caucused for Bernie Sanders. The same would apply in reverse.
Leaders at the Democratic National Committee will be reviewing the proposal, which Nelson says lead to a more "small D" democratic process that would have a much better chance at enlisting independents and young voters into the Democratic Party.
