april, may, and in june.

from nyt:
"*Vote totals are not actual votes cast, but are legislative district convention delegates won. The May 24 Washington State Democratic presidential primary is not reported because its results are non-binding. National delegates are elected through a series of conventions in April, May and June."

i gasped when i saw primary VOTE totals earlier on an MSNBC banner with 75% of a vote in and hillary ahead with 54% and bernie with 48%.

any which way they can, right? dispicable msnbc - deliberately misleading the voters to make them think there is no point in voting because hell or high water, the queen will be crowned. they must secretly support trump.

And didn't bother to vote in the primary. Why does anyone? It serves no purpose.

In fact, I am considering how best to campaign the SOS to eliminate this process. The printing, mailing, and counting of ballots an absolute waste of tax dollars.
