5. Maybe because of the money?
If you could shuffle the bux around they way they can, your vote would count like theirs does.

I live in Ohio, we don't get counted, we get reported.

8. it seems that none of the votes are equal
The delegagte system is all screwed up...caucus verses primary....winning the popular vote, but losing the delegate count, the proportional division of delegates, rewarding areas with high voter turn out in previous elections???

then of course the supers...and now the possibility of taking pledged delegates??? What the heck?

I am seriously considering not participating in the primaries until the democrats work out a much better system. This is just been a nightmare imo
