Episode 8, Part 1: Introduction to the Democratic National Convention Parliamentary Procedure with Chris and Viktor

In this episode, we discuss the “primary” function of the Democratic National Convention, namely, the presidential nomination process. We begin by introducing the concept of “delegates,” the people who do the actual  ticket selection. Then, we discuss the various types of delegates, including the infamous Super-delegate. Next, we address the basics of the voting process. Then, we move on to explain how delegates are allocated throughout the country. Finally, we close with a discussion of whether we think the current system is the ideal means of selecting the ticket and conclude that while the system works, there is definitely room for improvement.
