It doesn't matter who the presidential candidates are on the ballot -- that is a beauty show and doesn't count toward the nominating process. Only the delegate elections count toward selecting the party's presidential nominee. A voter is expected to know which delegate candidates represents which presidential candidate before arriving at his/her polling station. And it's critical know who the RP delegates are because the presidential candidate affiliation of delegates isn't displayed on the ballot.

So, please learn who your Ron Paul delegate (and alternate delegate) candidates are. You can find them here:

If you don't know your district, in another thread MMalloy provided the following link to find it:

Technically, there are no presidential candidates on the ballot in Pennsylvania's primary ... only delegates. The presidential candidate affiliation of delegates isn't even displayed on the ballot. A voter is expected to know who represents whom before arriving at his/her polling station.

The delegates are 100% what matters. The presidential "straw poll" is completely irrelevant. But there are 3 presidential candidates appearing on the ballot.

You are correct. I've amended my first paragraph to correct my error about the presidential candidate on the ballot, and to clarify the election of delegates.

Btw, Brandon, you look quite respectable on the sample ballot. :)

Edit: Added the verb I left out, "look."

Yea. Mike quallified for ballot access before he dropped out. Mccain Paul and Huck are the only three that qualiffied for ballot access (even though Mccain's qualifications are bogus.)

Maybe they will remove Huck from the ballot. I'm not sure. Did he officially drop out, or just suspend his campaign like Romney?
