  2. Find out how the presidential delegates plan to vote! Our non-partisan, unbiased website has compiled all the delegate lists. We have contacted any questionable candidates, and have scoured all social media and news media to verify they are indeed committed to their position. We have 15 people working on this non-stop update the list daily, as needed. As far as I am aware, we are the only group doing this. We also have a complete write-up on how the process works. Any candidates listed as supporting a particular presidential candidate have been vetted as thoroughly as possible to ensure that they intend to follow through with this commitment!
