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.[4]

Nebraska had a total of five superdelegates in 2016. All of them are listed below beneath the candidate they are known to have supported.

Bernie Sanders won the 2016 Nebraska Democratic caucus, defeating Hillary Clinton 57 to 43 percent. His victory in Nebraska marked his second win of the evening of March 5, 2016, which also saw a Democratic caucus in Kansas and a primary in Louisiana. Sanders won the Kansas caucus too. In Nebraska, Sanders carried Douglass County, the state's most populous county and home to the city of Omaha, 54 to 46 percent. He won the state's second most populous county, Lancaster—home to the city of Lincoln—68 to 32 percent. In Wheeler County, a population of 759 residents, Clinton and Sanders tied. Out of six voters, they received three votes each.[5] In the 2008 Nebraska Democratic caucus, Barack Obama beat Clinton 68 to 32 percent.[6]

Delegate allocation
Nebraska had 30 delegates at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Of this total, 25 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 caucus results.[7][8]
Five 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]
