More Delegate Shennanigans

Latecomers get more delegate sway - The Boston Globe: "WASHINGTON - South Dakota has fewer residents than Delaware, but gets the same number of delegates to the Democratic Party convention. Pennsylvania is smaller than Illinois, but will have more Democratic delegates. North Carolina is barely bigger than New Jersey, but the state will have significantly more representatives at the convention..."

I'm from Western North Carolina and I don't like this. There is far too much rewarding and punishing going on in this primary. Screwing Florida and Michigan is bad enough but now we start having extra delegates awarded-- for what reason? Is this supposed to balm for Florida and Michigan or alms for the Old North State and Pennsylvania?
