19 (1 from each of the 9 Congressional Districts and 10 at-large) of Washington's delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders based on the results of voting in today's Washington Presidential Primary. Voters are required to sign a form stating they are Republicans (as voters do not have to declare political party membership to vote in the state's regular primaries or general elections).
* 9 district delegates are to be allocated to presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the 9 congressional districts: each congressional district is assigned 1 National Convention delegate and the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in that district will receive that district's National Convention delegate.
* 10 delegates are to be allocated proportionally to presidential contenders based on the primary vote statewide. A 20 percent threshold is required in order for a presidential contender to be allocated National Convention delegates at the statewide level.
So it was a primary and not a 'straw poll' but it sounds like it was conducted like a straw poll.
Ok so this was a caucas and the primary is Feb 19 right. Too much to keep up with. And some of our people tried to be stealthy and not tip of RP's level of support and wrote uncommited on their preference not knowing that was actually their 'vote' and so RP is under represented in the totals? And Pastor Mike is bringing down God's wrath on the unholy infidels that rigged this 'election' against Gods plan for the salvation of the US. Or something like that. Help RP Win Virginia!!!!
as far as i'm concerned, learning how they tally these supposed results, every single estimate by the AP, CNN, the GOP or what have you is completely inaccurate.
What is wrong with Washington GOP, they still refuse to count their caucus votes? only 93% counted and Ron Paul could be in first place. Technically. Are they going to finish counting?
