assessment, but this doesn't give any credence to the idea that the delegate tally is a better metric for determining will. In fact the whole point of delegates is to give more power to states with smaller populations at the expense of individual voters:
It takes ~10,000 people to appoint one delegate in California with average turnout and ~4600 people to appoint one delegate in Wyoming with 100% turnout.
