    Hubert Humphrey got snubbed by the DNC just flat out ignoring the primary results in states that had them?

    I didn’t know this and am eager to find it. Was it during the 1968 election against Nixon?

      I don’t quite remember, all I personally have off the top of my head is that it was the major contributing factor to the chicago DNC riots, and an overhaul of the nomination rules to appease the folks who called fowl.

      Think “the superdelegates will only vote if a majority candidate isn’t found in the first round ballot” but I think it was actually even bigger when it happened.
