What are the rules concerning how delegates can vote? There was an episode of The West Wing once where there were 3 Democratic candidates and none of them got the required amount of votes before the convention, so there was a load of infighting and delegates who suddenly decided to switch their votes to a 4th candidate.
Is the Republican system any better? Are delegates required to vote for whomever the voters told them to support, or are they free to change their minds? Or was The West Wing episode more fictional than fact in that sense?
