LOWELL - U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who remains publicly unaligned in the 2016 presidential primary between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, is no fan of super-delegates.



Because she is a top Massachusetts elected official and a party leader, Warren is a super-delegate, meaning she isn't bound to a candidate at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.



"I'm a super delegate and I don't believe in super delegates," she said.



"I don't think that super delegates ought to sway the election," Warren said before giving a talk focused on income equality as part of the Massachusetts Democratic Party's annual state convention.



Supporters of Sanders have been critical of the super-delegate process. Sanders, a democratic socialist from Vermont who is running as a Democrat in the primary, is behind Clinton in the delegate count and the popular vote.



Massachusetts Democrats earlier on Saturday passed a resolution to take a deeper look at the super-delegate process, according to POLITICO Massachusetts.

Warren said she agrees with the resolution and there should be greater scrutiny of the super-delegate process.



While Warren voted in the March 1 presidential primary in Massachusetts, she has declined to tell reporters who got her vote for president.
