I had the understanding that there are state laws forcing delegates to vote for whom they are pledged.

Also the Conference thing seems dicey Presumably a majority of the DN Committee could appoint a loaded Conference, thereby subverting Section 1 (where ordinarily it would take 2/3 of the DN Committee).
