It’s been that way since political parties were formed and deals were cut in whiskey-soaked, smokey backrooms. It’s nothing new. What’s comical is the feigned ‘outrage’ from the candidates and voters who claim they didn’t know it.
BS, a big portion of the electorate probably knew little or nothing about all these state rules that determine how delegates are selected after the voters voted, where they allowed to vote. These rules have rarely come into play in the lifetime of most current voters.
I think we'll see some changes in states where the rules enable party officials and insiders to thwart the will of the voters when it comes to selecting delegates.
