By contrast, GOP delegate allocation devolve decision-making to the states, which results in a confusing hodgepodge of methods where some states don't hold votes at all (!) and there are lots of quirks and eccentricities to exploit with some votes worth much more than others. — PolitiTweet.org

Democratic delegate allocation methods are extremely proportional to the popular vote. There are a few quirks (15% threshold, a few states have caucuses which have lower turnout) and obviously states don't all vote at the same time. But it's very closely tied to the popular vote. — PolitiTweet.org

In certain ways, each party's delegate allocation method reflects a stereotyped version of its flaws. Democrats' method, especially after the removal of superdelegates, is democratic to a fault, to the point where it may invite chaos. The GOP one enables lots of rent-seeking. — PolitiTweet.org
