Congressmen from WMass should follow voters’ lead

The majority of Congressmen Richard Neil’s and Jim McGovern’s constituents voted for Bernie Sanders in the Democratic caucus.

Both men appear committed to voting for Hillary Clinton at the Democratic convention. If that is their intention, they no longer represent the will of their constituents.

The candidate for the Democratic Party should not be elected by a political machine. He or she should be elected by the people, and the people have spoken in western Massachusetts by simple majority.
