Darryl Sinkfield was a superdelegate to the 2016 Democratic National Convention from Alabama.[1] Sinkfield was one of seven superdelegates from Alabama. Superdelegates to the 2016 Democratic National Convention were not bound by the results of their state’s primary or caucus to support a specific presidential candidate. Ballotpedia was not able to identify whether Sinkfield supported Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders for the 2016 Democratic nomination.[2]
What is a superdelegate?
Superdelegates in 2016 were automatic delegates to the Democratic National Convention, meaning that, unlike regular delegates, they were not elected to this position. Also unlike regular delegates, they were not required to pledge their support to any presidential candidate, and they were not bound by the results of their state's presidential primary election or caucus. In 2016, superdelegates included members of the Democratic National Committee, Democratic members of Congress, Democratic governors, and distinguished party leaders, including former presidents and vice presidents. All superdelegates were free to support any presidential candidate of their choosing at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.[3]
Alabama primary results

Hillary Clinton won Alabama's 2016 Democratic primary.[4] Nearly 80 percent of Democratic primary voters chose Clinton in 2016. In 2008, Clinton came in second with 42 percent behind Barack Obama who won the 2008 Alabama Democratic primary with 56 percent of the vote.[5]
A Monmouth University Poll taken days ahead of Super Tuesday in 2016 showed Clinton with a commanding 71 percent to 23 percent lead over Bernie Sanders.[6]

Delegate allocation
Alabama had 60 delegates at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Of this total, 53 were pledged delegates. National party rules stipulated how Democratic delegates in all states were allocated. Pledged delegates were allocated to a candidate in proportion to the votes he or she received in a state's primary or caucus. A candidate was eligible to receive a share of the state's pledged delegates if he or she won at least 15 percent of the votes cast in the primary or caucus. There were three types of pledged Democratic delegates: congressional district delegates, at-large delegates, and party leaders and elected officials (PLEOs). Congressional district delegates were allocated proportionally based on the primary or caucus results in a given district. At-large and PLEO delegates were allocated proportionally based on statewide primary results.[7][8]
Seven party leaders and elected officials served as unpledged delegates. These delegates were not required to adhere to the results of a state's primary or caucus.[7][9]

If you think we made an error in identifying superdelegates, please send an email to editor@ballotpedia.org.
- ↑ To find out which candidate a superdelegate supported, Ballotpedia sought out public statements from the superdelegate in other media outlets and on social media. If we were unable to find a public statement that clearly articulated which candidate the superdelegate supported at the national convention, we listed that superdelegate as "unknown."
