Not exactly, no. As I reported earlier, winning two of the remaining delegates for NV places her ahead in terms of the total pledged delegate count, so we know she'd be ahead - additionally, it's very uncommon for supers to change their endorsement before someone drops out of the primary, so it's actually likely she'll keep most or all of hers.
Finally, regardless, we can count them since they've pledged support to her. If she crosses the necessary mark for the nomination while counting supers, she will still be seen as the presumptive nominee unless for some reason that's where she stops.
The movement to convince supers to switch to Bernie will only succeed if he wins the pledged delegate count by a substantial margin.
