HuffPo changed their election tracking page so you HAVE to see Superdelegates in total???

Or am I missing something? There used to not be that stupid graphic that looks like it's out of a preschoolers bedtime horror story book and there was a box you could check or uncheck to pick if you wanted the total to include superdelegates or not.

Now I see no way to change it. It notes that this is with superdelegates but so what? They are meaningless at this point. Unless you would like to mislead the public.

Growing so weary of these dirty tricks of deception.

1. I use that page for every election.

When you click on the page you will see;

Democrats; Delegates and Super Delegates.

There is a box with a check mark in it.

It will say count super delegates.

Click on the check mark and it removes the super delegates from the count.

I just checked to make sure it is still operating that way, and it is.

Hope that helps.

Have a lovely Sunday.

I'm on a very old computer using Window XP and Firefox. There is absolutely nothing (with or without a box to check/uncheck) that says "count super delegates". OP could also be using an old computer that doesn't display this.

Click on Huffington Post.

Scroll down to article Full Results for Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii Feel The Bern.

It was the 3rd article down at the time of this post.

You will see what I described in my previous post.

I bookmarked so I never have to look it up.

I hope that helps.

Have wonderful evening.

P.S. Computer is 8 years old and I use Google Chrome.

history, selected that page that I have been to before, and got the new page with the idiotic graphic, which, by the way, had stupid cartoon talk bubble things when you hovered over Hillary or Bernie with Hillary's saying "I need xxx delegates to win" and Bernie's saying "I'm 7xx delegates behind". Blech.

I eventually found a link to get the 'normal' view.

2. The link you provided is something I've never seen.

I have the HuffPo app on my phone.
When I go from the home page to the primary item I get the "It's all about the delegates" page.
Scrolling down reveals the individual caucus/primary along with the little box that you may uncheck in order to eliminate superdelegates.

4. Yeah, first time I had seen that and I went off a link that came up as history in my browser.

I did eventually find a link to get back to the page I was used to with box to check.

8. I'd been using Google's page, but it seems to have disappeared overnight!

Yesterday (and all days prior), you used to be able to Google "democratic primaries" or "democratic primary" or "democratic election results" and Google would display the most up-to-date delegate counts (updating the instant new data became available-- so even when only 3% of a state had reported, you could watch the delegates for each candidate climb in real time). It's gone today, and I'm not sure how to find it again. Do you think there could be a connection?
