So the elections then properly take place at the state level. Then the 50 states cast their ballot in December. So if a state's majority party wants a certain candidate to win, it needs to convince all members of its party that that candidate (and his/her platform especially) is one that all can stomach.Actually, because of the "winner take all" system of the electoral votes, those who vote for the candidate who doesn't take their state, their vote doesn't count.
.
Which still keeps the power in the People and the States after all... So individual votes within a state DO count because if a majority fails to nominate a certain candidate, it's because people didn't vote that way, or at all. Individuals voting DOES count within a state's boundaries.
