So maybe the delegate votes are the votes cast by congressmen?
Very rarely in here....

No delegates are private citizens elected to their post within their party.

Think of primary- as mini-election at the party state level. Delegates of the party.

Think of election- as members of electoral college. More like delegates at large. As individuals they should cast there vote according to the neighborhood/area of the state where they live (according to national election results) regardless of their personal political association

Electoral- interesting thing. They are not really "bound" by the vote in their state but remarkably they do invariably complete their duty as they should

Hope this helps.

Or at least did not make it worse.
