Bernie Sanders slams 'rigged' superdelegate system, calls it 'absurd'
- 8 years ago
Bernie Sanders is facing an uphill fight to snag the Democratic presidential nomination, consistently criticizing the party structure and system of tallying votes.
He's shown no signs of letting up as he campaigns through California before the state's upcoming primary, reminding supporters just how much of a "rigged" system is in place.
"
[Hillary] received over 400 super delegates supporting her before anyone else was in the race… That is an absurd system and together we are going to change that system," Sanders said in Santa Cruz.
Should Sanders pull off a monumental victory in the Golden State, he may be able to enact the change he so desperately wants, such as forcing superdelegates to cast their vote for the winner of their respective states.
