2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumJust a reminder: the Primary tomorrow is a two part process...
...you vote for the candidate of your choice and THEN vote for five, six, or seven delegates depending on your Congressional District. Delegates are allocated to each candidate based on the CD vote share and then assigned based on delegate vote count and gender balance.
(nb - you can split your delegate votes between supporters of the two candidates if you want to).

(53,866 posts)2. can you explain why someone would split the delegate vote?
i was just wondering about that

(3,030 posts)4. Maybe by not realizing the implications
and there's also the chance someone would forget to even vote for the delegates
La Lioness Priyanka
(53,866 posts)5. so there is no intentional reason one may do that?
k8conant
(3,030 posts)7. I wouldn't think so.

(130,974 posts)8. Maybe one actually knows one or more of the delegates,
and wants to support him/her, even if not 'pledged' to one's preferred candidate.
Seems to me there are potentially MANY reasons to do such.

Assuming that the other candidate gets a proportion of of the delegates, you can influence who they are.
