No, you can't verify the AP's report based on publicly available information. The AP withheld info needed to verify.

they withheld which superdelegates said what, but you can literally repeat their process.

What's the justification for withholding which super delegates said what?

because maybe they wouldn't be able to get them to tell them how they would vote?

So it's OK to grant anonymity to super delegates?

reporters grant anonymity to lots of sources. not always ideal, but sometimes necessary.

I'm aware that journalists often grant anonymity. If anonymity is warranted, then the reasoning should be explained.

No explanation contained therein of why the identities of clinching super delegates were withheld from readers.

maybe you could ask AP? fwiw, I don't think they've ever made them public.

Again, I am eager to hear the AP's rationale for their opaque journalistic decision-making.
