I am an elected delegate.

I am a Precint Committeeman and also a elected delegate for a very large group of people in my county.

While everyone spends time watching t.v. I walked my area for over 4 months talking to everyone I that I can; about 500 people in 4 months. That's about 10%.

I sign people up to vote, make sure they have their copy, and turn the days batch into the voter registration department of the county.

All at my own expense; time, effort, shoes, gas to move around the county, etc. This is called getting out the vote.

I asked each one who they wanted to vote for and keep a total of each persons answer.

I take the highest total (a simple majority) and that person is who I vote for on THE VERY FIRST BALLOT. THIS IS THE VOTE OF THE PEOPLE. THEY ARE FULLY REPRESENTED.

If before the vote I run into someone at a store who expresses their choice I add it to the tally. If it cahnges the simple majority, I select that person.

This process goes on until 1 day before the vote. (I need time to pack and drive to get to the voting location; about a 4 hour drive for me.)

My experience is that most people in my county are very well educated, very smart, and very well informed as to the big issues.

On ballot day if a simple majority does not happen on the first ballot, then there is a pause for a while, as the delegates talk to each other to try to come to a unified position.

Sometimes the ballot cycle completes in 3 or 4 passes; other times it may take more.
When it is done, I go home to rest for a week or so.

And contrary to popular opinion, it is not rigged, it is not corrupt, it is not crooked.

It is the only way you can get the primary vote of over 300 million people into a convention center in order to select the nominnee.

And BTW, my personal choice is never considered, even on the multiple ballot cycles.

I represent the people of my district.

As I walk or drive about my county, some of the people sign my election sheet. When the number of signed people are above a minimun number you become an elected deligate.
ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE TO REPRESENT THEM AS A DELEGATE.

I hope this clears the air.

Edit to fix spelling errors.
