  • What a crock! A logical system would use the popular vote to reflect will of the people

    This nonsensicle delegate system is a carryover from a bygone era. Just like the electoral college it should be abandoned. The problen is very well illustrated when you have small minority in tiny states effectively making candidates viable or nonviable for the whole nation. Its silly and adopting the Republican model is even worse. It feeds the notion that only swing states matter and hurts the democratic process
