Maine lost 2 superdelegates due to residency question.
http://www.wgme.com/News/story_detail/story_detail_2.shtml?readmore

A major shakeup is underway among Maine's democratic party. News 13 has learned that two of the state's 12 superdelegates are not eligible to represent Maine because they are not residents.

Arden Manning, Director of the Maine Democratic Party, tells News 13 that the party has been informed that Senator George Mitchell and former Governor Ken Curtis will likely be representing the states where they live. Curtis is a resident of Florida, while Mitchell is a resident of New York.

On Saturday, the Democratic National Committee will meet, and Arden says that's when the reassignment will become official.

Curtis has committed his vote to Hillary Clinton, while Mitchell has not yet committed to a candidate.

*****does this mean that curtis lost his vote, due to florida not seating their delegates?
