	Delegate (United States Congress) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Delegate to Congress is a non-voting member of the United States House of Representatives who is elected from a U.S. territory or from the District of Columbia.
		The District of Columbia, otherwise known as Washington, D.C., the capital city of the United States, is technically a federal district—not a territory, commonwealth or insular area—but, for purposes of representatation in the House, is nevertheless entitled to a non-voting Delegate.
		The reversal was denounced as a case of partisanship by Democrats—which all five of the Delegates either were or were allied with—at the time, and which was made after Republicans gained control of the House for the first time in 40 years.

	ThisNation.com--Presidential nomination process?
		BASE DELEGATES Each stated (including the District of Columbia) is awarded a number of delegates to the national convention based on its share of the total Democratic popular vote and its share of the electoral vote in the three most recent presidential elections.
		Some states award delegates to candidates on a "winner-take-all" basis, meaning that the candidate with the most votes in a state is awarded all of that state's delegates.
		Another important distinction is whether delegates are "pledged" or "unpledged" to vote for the same candidate the voters in his or her state or district supported in the primary.
