Pennsylvania votes separately for candidates and delegates. The only thing winning candidates are guaranteed to win are the pot of 17 at large delegates who are only bound on the first ballot.

After that, you need to know which three delegates in each congressional district are bound to each respective candidate.

Few voters do and tend to select the three most familiar names. This is an example of the ballot in our precinct.

I looked over the ballot. Thanks for the link. My question: Are those "three delegates" you referred to actually bound to a candidate, or are they just on record as favoring that candidate?

I've read elsewhere that those PA delegates can vote any way they wish, even on the first ballot. So there seems to be plenty of opportunity for trickery.
