which I've been suspecting, since they were so wrong in '16 and continue to be way off this cycle.
Edit: I've seen value looking at other proxies... like votes cast, fundraising, organizational infrastructure, enthusiasm/crowd sizes, etc.
Other thing is, a plurality of delegates isn't a majority, right? So, tbf, a nominating the candidate with only a plurality of delegates on first ballot would actually be going against the *majority* of voters. It shouldn't really be viewed as "denying" the plurality holder anything. Viewing a plurality as an "advantage" in further deliberations seems fair tho. Just no guarantee *shrug*
