I am in Pennsylvania’s 15th district also. Small town, voted at church down the road from my house.
There was a Trump campaign person outside with flyers showing which delegates were for Trump.
Inside the Poll workers had made copies from the local newspaper to show which delegates were committed to which candidates. I was impressed.
I never saw them do that before.
I was going to post it, but it had already been posted; Hannity posted each delegate and who they supported.
Just another scheme to take the decision away from voters. The less you know, the better for the establishment. The party is big business. They are the corporate officers, the office holders are the franchisees, and the voters are the shareholders. Trump is leading a hostile takeover on our behalf.
Trump’s ground game is improving!
Doesn’t a person have a responsibility to know for whom they are voting?
Well the average person who has a life outside of politics doesn’t know who these people are. They are the party regulars who pay a few hundred dollars for a good seat at the Lincoln dinner. They know each other, but for the average voter who is working hard and raising a family they are just names on paper. I think we should vote for the candidate, and the candidate can then choose their own delegates. But the party regulars don’t want the voters to decide. They view it as their party, the voters are just customers, and the issues are products they sell us every couple years.
Yes, the PA GOP thinks their voters are smarter than the Dems, who have to spell it out for their low IQ voters...
Again, if a person takes the right to vote seriously, they should find out who is on the ballot, and why they should vote for them. Personally, if I don’t know who the candidates for local dogcatcher are, I don’t vote for either. However, when it comes to members of legislative, judicial, and executive branches, I look them up. And I am a single dad, working 2 jobs.
Now, if a person doesn’t like how the ballot is written, or the method of delegate selection, participate in the party. If a person isn’t part of the solution, sitting back and griping doesn’t solve anything. While I agree that I am tired of the national GOP, each state is different.
Frankly, I am kind of tired of hearing the canards of “no vote” primaries, and the like. Each state party has their own rules. Candidates should know those rules, as should those voting.
Finally, for this election, it is all about beating Hillary.
Good for you. Most people have a life outside of politics. I’m glad you feel so smug in approving of making it as difficult as possible for average Americans to choose who they want to be president. Frankly I think you are part of the problem.
Knowing who’s on the ballot is too difficult? Good grief.
Perhaps the Electoral College is too difficult also.
If it requires a modicum of effort, let’s just get rid of it.
Either a person takes the process seriously or they don’t.
