How many delegates will each state have?
In the United States, major political parties select their official candidates primarily through a series of state primaries and caucuses, where party members vote for their preferred candidate. The results from these events determine how many delegates each candidate receives, culminating in a party convention where delegates formally nominate the candidate with the majority support. Additionally, parties may have different rules and processes for candidate selection, such as open or closed primaries, which affect who can vote in these elections. Ultimately, the candidate who secures the most delegates through this process becomes the party’s official nominee for the general election.
No delegates vote. Party voters don't "vote". They are counted. And the delegates sent to the convention in Denver from Iowa for each candidate depends on how many supporters they had at the caucus. Furthermore, the delegates are already handpicked by the candidates.
