The USC Annenberg Center on Communication Leadership & Policy has launched the Project on Presidential Primaries: Roadmap to Nomination 2016, a crowd-sourced Google Spreadsheet detailing the delegate selection rules for the 2016 primaries and caucuses by state, party, type, voter participation, election dates, and more.
Most Americans — even candidates and party insiders — have little knowledge about how delegates are chosen in presidential caucuses and primaries. The rules vary dramatically by state and party and change from election to election.
The Project on Presidential Primaries is a crowd-sourced resource to help illuminate the system of presidential primaries in the United States. It is an initiative of the USC Annenberg Center on Communication Leadership & Policy, which is directed by Geoffrey Cowan….
This project is inspired by Cowan who, as a young Yale Law student in 1968, asked what ABC news anchor Howard K. Smith called a “novel question”: “How are the delegates for the Democratic National Convention chosen?” Watch the video here.
