[QUOTE="civilwarbuff, post: 74478650, member: 377216"] You realize that what you are discussing is a Primary not the General Election. Primary elections have nothing to do with the electoral college and are not dealt with in any way in the US Constitution. Primaries are simply a way for the people to express their preference as to who they want to represent their political party in the General election. Prior to having primaries political parties chose the General election candidates. As a matter of fact, there is talk that the GOP are considering not even having a primary since the Republican consensus is for Trump; that of course can change. Not all states have primaries: The Iowa caucuses are biennial electoral events for members of the Democratic and Republican parties in the U.S. state of Iowa. Unlike primary elections in most other U.S. states where registered voters go to polling places to cast ballots, Iowans instead gather at local caucus meetings to discuss and vote on the candidates. During both the presidential and midterm election seasons, registered Iowan voters vote in a per-precinct caucus for the party of which they are registered as a member. The caucuses are also held to select delegates to county conventions and party committees, among other party activities.[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa_caucuses']Wikipedia[/URL] [/QUOTE]
