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.[2]

Hillary Clinton won the 2016 Georgia Democratic primary with 71.2 percent of the vote.[3] This was a substantial improvement over her 2008 performance against Barack Obama where she only won 31.1 percent.[4] Clinton also swept the state except for one county; Bernie Sanders claimed that victory in Echols County.[5] According to exit polling from CNN, Clinton won with nearly every demographic group, including men, women, self-identified liberals and moderates and voters of all income and education levels. Eighty-five percent of African-American voters supported Clinton. Sanders narrowly outperformed with voters 29 years of age or younger and white men.[6]

Delegate allocation
Georgia had 117 delegates at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Of this total, 102 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]
Fifteen 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]
