How do you think state primary delegates should be assigned? [90 votes total]
Distributed among multiple candidates proportionate to the end results. (77) 86%
The winning candidate should receive all delegates for that state. (13) 14%

 One Person, One Vote..but....

One needs to remember that, technically, the people do not elect the President of the United States -- the States do. Each State is given representation equivalent to its representation in Congress (i.e., 2 Senators plus as many Representatives as allocated). In additional, Washington, DC receives as many votes as the least populous state.

Without a major overhaul of the Constitution, this won't change. Personally, I believe that every State should change the way they assign the Eletoral Votes to eliminate the "winner take all" approach. This would make a big difference in States like Ohio (where I live), which is really neither red nor blue, but purple :)

However, what the individual parties do at their conventions (in terms of choosing candidates) is not governed by the US Constitution, so this poll is really about how each State's party officials handle the selection of party delegates, and has very little to do with the actual election.

 Voting

The era of voting by representation should be over! Modern technology enables "one person one vote" It is disgusting that the present President did not get that vote.
