GOP ballots for the March 15 primary feature two boxes for president, one for designating an at-large presidential delegate and one for designating a delegate for the voter's congressional district. It's a carry-over from a time when Ohio's Republican vote was divided proportionally, rather than in the winner-take-all fashion being used in 2016.

Dems allegedly still vote multiple times in Chicago, Hudson County (?) other Dem cities. GOP voters need to get practice
How did Son of Mailman allow this?
I would assume if you live in Ohio you know about this or people talk about it every four years.
Illinois is like that too. We vote for the Presidential candidate and up to three delegates and three alternate delegates for the Republican convention. Most voters don’t even know what a delegate is.
this seems like much ado about nothing.
Have Democrats been able to vote in every primary so far?
That explains Cuyahoga County.
Please don’t misunderstand Ohio’s Primary process. It’s not confusing and it’s been like this for many years.
After choosing your Party, on your ballot you vote for your Presidential candidate and then you vote again for the delegates to go to that same candidate. If you like Cruz, you choose him twice. If you like Trump, you choose him twice.
You vote for the same person, twice. It’s not difficult or confusing. Don’t worry folks, we got this.
Absentee & early voting began two weeks ago and the numbers are up so far. I think Trump will win Ohio but it will be close with Kasich, especially since Carson dropped out.
I live in Ohio and I’ve never been allowed to do it and never heard of it.
I’ll let you know in 2 weeks.
I’m voting for non-committed this time, as I’m a ‘moderate’.
So skip how its voted - how do they count it?
They don’t get any more delegates.

What happens if a person only votes once, for the candidate, but leaves the delegates an open question? Or votes for the candidate and then messes up and votes for the incorrect delegate slate?
[What happens if a person only votes once, for the candidate, but leaves the delegates an open question?]
The candidate vote goes towards the popular vote, but not the one that really counts - the delegate vote.
I live in Cuyahoga County, and NOTHING explains Cuyahoga County.
Will the delegates, regardless of which slate, be bound to the candidate who wins OH on the first vote?

Yes, but after that they are free agents. Scary thought, isn’t it?
Good job, Kasich. Doesn’t say much for your ability to pay attention to detail.
