Hundreds of Michigan Democratic activists were meeting to select the state's remaining Democratic National Convention delegates.
The Democratic State Central Committee on Saturday was choosing 23 delegates for presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama and 22 for Hillary Rodham Clinton, who won Michigan's disputed Jan. 15 primary.
The new delegates will join 83 selected in April at district conventions.
Teamsters President James Hoffa Jr. and United Auto Workers union official Richard Long were expected to be named to fill two superdelegate spots, joining 27 Michigan superdelegates already named.
Although Clinton won the state primary, her Michigan supporters attending Saturday's meeting say they now support Obama.
