With the Democratic Primary season almost upon us, I’m a little confused as to how many votes each state gets. Is it identical to the number of electoral votes in the general election, or is it based on the number of registered Democrats in a state.
In other words, surely a state with a small Democratic population should get less votes at the convention than a state with a larger Democratic population, regardless of the total population of the state.
And another question is regarding places like Guam and American Samoa. Do they even get a vote in the ultimate election in November, and in any case, how many votes do they get anyway…
