*The delegation faced a gender imbalance as eight of the 10 unpledged superdelegates were male.  The DNC forced the state party to replace two of the elected male delegates with females. AP did a story on this which was widely carried.  See:  Dave Gram.  "2 VT delegates replaced due to gender." Burlington Free Press, July 21, 2016.
