For those who pine for the simplicity of a Statewide Primary...you won't be happy

One of the biggest complaints in Iowa is that it uses district-based voting, so candidates can rack up votes but not receive commensurate delegates. However, most States do the same in some measure, i.e. issue some delegates by Statewide total and some by Congressional District total. So the math is never going to be simple.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
