(political parties)delegates are usually chosen during a primary or caucus depending on the state your in. Delegates who attend national party conventions are chosen by the members of the particular political party.
99 will attend
15 delegates did not attend. 70 were chosen to attend but only 55 attended.
These are the people who will attend the convention for their states and will vote as a block for the candidate to run for president.
Florida was supposed to have 210 delegates. However the Democratic National Convention stripped Florida of all of its delegates because it broke party rules by having its primary before February 5.
fiftyfive delegates were at the constitutional convention
Caucuses. The delegates all attend the national party convention at the end of summer/beginning of fall and formally cast their votes for the candidates they already pledged their vote to. Candidates often drop out as the primaries go on if they feel they are not going to win. The delegates awarded to them then have to vote for someone else at the convention.
Rhode Island
There were 55 delegates that were suppose to attend the Constitutional Convention. This convention was held in 1787 in Philadelphia.
Michigan was supposed to have 128 delegates plus 29 superdelegates to the 2008 Democratic National Convention. However the Democratic National Convention stripped Michigan of all of its delegates because it broke party rules by having its primary before February 5. Hillary Clinton, who ran unopposed in Michigan, is insisting that the delegates be seated. Barack Obama, who kept his name off the ballot as party officials requested, insists that the delegates not be seated. If the primary remains so close that the vote totals from Michigan and Florida could tip the scales, the argument over these delegates may leave the losing side feeling that it was robbed of the election.
