I know that the DNC doesn&#x27;t <i>exclusively</i> use the popular vote to decide its candidates, yes.  There&#x27;s the &quot;superdelegates&quot;.  They make up, what, 15% of the delegates?  So, yes, they can swing the election if the primaries break 60&#x2F;40.  It&#x27;s not the most democratic system, I&#x27;ll admit.  But the people are not locked out.  Their voice will be heard, and can easily swamp the voice of the superdelegates.
