We should be using the popular vote and thats it. And what is this "Super Deligate, and did the people apoint them to be a "Super Deligate"? If not then its not really "for the people" or "by the people" then is it.

As far as voting goes.....its your choice and there is a reason they have voting booths. Its your choice to vote and also your choice to keep it private. I personally view my participation in voting as a civic duty and if you dont like the "Popular Choices" then do a write in, but you have to understand, I served 20 years defending the rights of Americans so this is why I feel its my duty (why put your life on the line, and be told by Congress and the President what to do and when to do it and not have a say in who is telling you..hahahaha)
