Clinton’s Delegate Lead Would Triple Under GOP Rules

GOP made its own rules, as did the Democrats. The time to complain was after the last election, not during the current one.

No where did I see this article account for the 719 Democratic super-delegates, which are all unbound and free to vote which ever way they please, regardless of the popular vote. This fact alone destroys the article's suggestion that the DNC process is fairer than the GOP.

The unbound GOP delegates (as the GOP does not have super-delegates) are typically those who voted for a candidate which chose to suspend their campaign. Depending on their state rules they are allowed to vote for another candidate on the 2nd vote as I understand the process. One could argue they should go to the candidate which won the popular vote of that state, but I would disagree as it still reflects the fact that the voters did not in fact vote for that candidate.

Personally, I think the votes should be proportional to the votes received in the given state, with a closed party election by voters who established their affiliation to the party prior to the election day. These votes should be bound for the first vote at the convention, after which the votes should then be unbound and free for the delegates to change if they desire (should no candidate reach the required majority). Both the DNC and GOP are confusing and screwed up right now as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, right. Market watch

"And right now, that total is adding up nicely for Clinton. As of Sunday, the former secretary of state and her challenger for the nomination, Sen. Bernie Sanders, were even in terms of pledged delegates, with 51 each. Yet Clinton had 451 superdelegates to Sanders’ 19."

And if you take the time to see who they are, it becomes apparent who they will vote for, although they can change their minds. The list is quite interesting, Berrnie should read it.
