Politics for Dummies
Question of the day: What/Who are delegates, what is their purpose, and do they matter? Are they congressmen? *confused*
Sorry if this is a silly question, but after looking it up online I can't really come up with a definitive answer. I noticed that on the election results yesterday, there was a column for "Delegates", and then score-keeping next to each candidate. (Some had 3 or 4, some had 0)
So....can someone educate me?
