Is our primary process fair? Look at the precints in New York.....
District 15
Trump 636 3 delegates won
Cruz 251
Kasich 135

Now go to District 1......
Trump 37,137 3 delegates won
Kasich 8,772
Cruz 4,658

how is it possible that in district 15 .. around one thousand people get 3 delegates.....
....and................. in district 1.....50,000 people get 3 delegates????

Sort of like some states with small populations get fewer representatives in the House than states with large populations, but all only get 2 senators.

Those small population states are why the Founding Fathers came up with the Electoral College. Otherwise, all presidental elections would be determined by the likes of NY City, Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles, etc.

Guess where most of the Libs live. That is why they keep wanting to dismantle the EC.

Could it be that a lot of folks in District 15 opted to not vote - or that it's so heavily Democrat that they voted between Sanders/Clinton but not for the Republicans?

Funny how those who seen to care not a whit about Cruz SUCKING UP delegates w/o votes are so concerned about Trump WINNING delegates via votes We don't need no stinking "The People" in this election....).

District 15 is Black and Hispanic thus very low number of Registered Republicans voting on primary day. Plus in order to vote you had to have registered Republican (or Democrat)six months ago
