Similar to ty's question, our Presidential ballot has both the Dems and also delegates, but broken down by gender

I can't figure out why they actually did this.

Prez
* Hill or Bernie

Female Delegates
* 4 names (Hillary)
* 4 names (Bernie)

Male Delegates
* 3 names (Hillary)
* 3 names (Bernie)

I get at a basic reason you want to show some demographic difference on tv (if that is even a remotely impactful thing 4 months from now)

but why in the hell would you make things that complicated in general practice?

As far as the ballot goes, my guess (for both yours and mine) is that the Prez line is meaningless* and the delegate lines are all that will matter - ty97 Apr 12, 08:00 3
- The prez line determines how many delegates from each candidate's list are chosen. I think. -- nm* - znufrii Apr 12, 08:03 2
  - ????? Then why vote for the delegates at all? - ty97 Apr 12, 08:05 1

"The [Maryland Dem] party also requires a nearly equal number of male and female delegates, and it tries to balance its delegation along racial lines. -- (link) - ty97 Apr 12, 07:59
