I am just now barely understanding all this. I really thought once you win a state in votes ,you get the majority of delegates.
I find this all crazy.
I thought/think the same things as you!
This election has really been a learning experience for me and I’m still learning (and I know I’m not alone)! Buying off delegates, committed v.s. non-committed, variations by states (1st vote committed has to go with the choice candidate, but then... some states they have to stay through 2 votes, FL they have to stay through 3 votes) and on and on.
