"Deliver the votes" and "deliver the membership" is an American expression used in election situations. It's a promise of a block of votes. |
Hi Susie,
Sorry for bothering.
I just want to make sure that I really understood the expression.
Summing up, can I say that "
deliver the votes" is equal to "
deliver the membership" that, in turn, means "
guarantee that the membership will vote the way someone wants"?
Thanks.
