With all of the controversy that surrounded delegates and superdelegates during the primary race, you would think that actually being a delegate is a pretty serious job. Ryan Kounovsky, a 25-year-old from Eugene, Oregon, strapped on a GoPro camera for The Wall Street Journal and proved otherwise.

From up on Kounovsky's head, we see delegates indulging in breakfast sausages before boarding a bus to the convention center — which, with all of the screaming, sign-waving, and button-wearing, looks more like a Justin Bieber concert than a political gathering. Kounovsky is a delegate for Hillary Clinton, and was one of the few Oregon delegates who remained after Tuesday's roll call vote, when Clinton was officially declared the Democratic Party's nominee.
