please some one explain to me why I have to vote on delegates that are already committed to a president. i should vote on the man I want to run for president and if they are appointed to speak for the people they should vote on the person they people in their precints voted for. Look at the sample ballots here in hamilton county and explain the republican ballot to me. I looked also at the democrat ballot and you don't vote for delegates on that ballot. What is a delegate? I thought it was a person already in office that had to vote for you after the popular vote was taken. It is looking more like this whole system is rigged. I am 44 years old and have yet missed voting in an election. But I am started to have my reservations after seeing this and the fact that nothing ever seems fair. I think all states should vote at the same time in the primaries so all canidates have the same chance with out people seeing the outcome in a few states and giving up on their canidates.
