Answers to questionnaire

@Ariostos

1. My preference would be something similar to how we handle Faithless Electors. See 2016.

2. I'd say preference based on delegates won.

3. We should treat them as pledged delegates. That's the most straightforward thing to do.

Keeping Track of Caucuses

This is me largely keeping track of the Democratic Presidential Caucuses (or State Conventions) that were held around the country that year and who the delegates were pledged to. I can't readily organize the data myself not being a subscriber to the New York Times, and not having a copy of the Proceedings for the '32 Democratic Convention it is not always clear how many delegates have been selected by each State or Territory; I'll leave that to someone else who is. Hopefully we don't end up with any missing contests, as I'm not sure how regularly the Times reported on these. --Ariostos (talk) 17:28, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

You've done a lot of great research; I applaud you for that. Here you should include the protocol, and how the votes are counted, how the electors are delegated, and how each candidate wins a state, etc. Add more to the body of how the primaries take place.

Accuracy???

The map seems incredibly inaccurate. Additionally, the New Hampshire results are a red flag. I have come across many accounts saying that Al Smith outperformed Roosevelt in that primary, which makes me question this article's accuracy. SecretName101 (talk) 17:59, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

I don't have a source listed for New Hampshire in this case above, which was probably an oversight on my part or I was concentrating entirely on the Primaries. What I do remember thought is that quite a few of the Primary States, both New Hampshire and Massachusetts come to mind as well as New Jersey, all held their Presidential and Delegate primaries separately; the Presidential preference primary usually had no bearing on which delegates were selected to go to the National Convention. Because of this I was conflicted in these cases on whether to display the results for the Presidential Primary or the Delegate Primary, and usually I leaned towards the latter. At least that was what I was working on, I can't remember how far alone things were when I stopped. To the best of my knowledge what is displayed NOW for New Hampshire is the Presidential Preference Primary, and I think that was because I couldn't find source giving a complete set of results for the delegate primary, least those like the one in New Hampshire I put in for the 1940 Democratic Primaries.
Otherwise the map is largely accurate, I just never got back to putting in an equivalent of the 1940 Democratic Primary table into this article with the references. Minus New York that is, but that is because I could never determine what its status was. --Ariostos (talk) 01:22, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
