And I believe the nominating conventions don’t typically go against the primary results, though I haven’t checked into this in any detail. I don’t believe 2016 was a counterexample, at least for the GOP. (The superdelegate thing with the Democratic Party, too, might have diluted some effect of primary voters, but I believe Clinton got the most of regular delegates meaning she won more of them than Sanders. Have to revisit that too.)<br><br><div dir="ltr"><div style="line-height: normal;"><div style="line-height: normal;"><span style="line-height: 20px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Regards,</span></div><div style="line-height: normal;"><span style="line-height: 20px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><div style="line-height: normal;"><span style="line-height: 20px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Dan</span></div><div style="line-height: normal;"><span style="line-height: 20px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Sample my Kindle books at:</span></div><div style="line-height: normal;"><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">http://author.to/DanUst</span></p></div></div></div><div><div style="line-height: normal;"></div></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On May 3, 2020, at 10:13 PM, SR Ballard via extropy-chat <extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">In the US, the party conventions actually choose the nominee, per my understanding.<div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.usa.gov/election#item-212585">https://www.usa.gov/election#item-212585</a><br><br><div dir="ltr">SR Ballard</div></div></div></blockquote></body></html>
