Superdelegates' votes urged to reflect caucus votes

Advertiser Staff

Thirty-two out of 44 state House Democrats have signed a resolution urging superdelegates to the 2008 Democratic National Convention to reflect the distribution of presidential candidate votes during tonight's Democratic causes.

Rep. Tom Brower, D-23rd (Waikiki, Ala Moana, Kaka'ako), introduced the resolution and said more signatures are expected. It could be amended to include the Republican caucus nominations, Brower said.

"The purpose of the resolution is to incite public debate on how parties choose presidential candidates," Brower said. "We must ensure that the system is responsive to the average citizen."
