“American voters are rightfully pissed off by a perplexing electoral system – or as John Oliver calls it, “an erratic clusterfuck every four years” – where a presidential candidate can win a primary or caucus yet receive fewer delegates than their opponent.

Donald Trump beat out Republican opponent Ted Cruz by 3.6 percent in the Louisiana primary but took home fewer delegates. In his latest Last Week Tonight deep dive, Oliver sorted through the madness”
