And does it shift from county to county?

2. It depends on the county |
|
Every county but Clark (Vegas) is 5 voters = 1 delegate. In Clark county (Vegas) it is 50 voters = 1 delegate except on the workplace sites where 5 voters = 1 delegate. But those are rounded it ends up depending upon turnout as well. In some cases it takes 8 voters = 1 delegate.

So, it's 5:1 everywhere outside the highest population county.
And there it's 8-50 to 1 ratio depending on turnout.
And... it's not secret ballot.
What a disgrace to democracy.

4. It is wacky. I would like it better as a primary but parties get to run their own affairs. |

5. Yea, but it's hurting the party... |

I remain of the opinion that one of the 2 parties is going to implode in the coming years.
