According to the website Raw Story [1], which describes itself as an “alternative news nexus,” undecided at-large North Carolina superdelegate Jeanette Council [2], a member of the Cumberland County Board of Commissioners questioned the motivation behind a conversation with the Clinton campaign.

From the site:

“I’ve been in politics for 30 years and I’ve paid my own way to the convention since ‘72,” Council said. “I’ll announce my decision tomorrow because I don’t want to influence anyone’s vote.

“They asked me what it would take to get my vote and I said, 'I don’t think I heard you right,'" Dr. Council told Raw Story Tuesday. "'I know I didn’t hear you imply that my vote was for sale.' 'Oh no,' [they said], 'that wasn’t what I intended to say at all.' ... 'Then what the hell do you mean?'"
