Dogma1979 RT @kainhart: #migop cd11 being railroaded. This is bad. Establishment slate being voted on after Agema's horrible stump speech.

Some of these delegates are non-voting delegates. According to greenpapers, there are 2 (voting) delegates selected from each of 14 CDs, and 2 at-large tomorrow for 30 total, and they are treating the alternates similarly. What it looks like is that they are sending the original number of delegates before 50% penalty, but only 30 will be able to vote.

Just under half of these delegates (again from greenpapers) would be bound to Santorum (16/14 proportionally).

Gee, let me guess how they're picking the non-voting delegates...

It may be 3rd and 6th highest votes. When they read out the results of CD1, they named the first 2 delegates, then the non-voting one. Same with the alternates. And one of our guys who was running for delegate was up there watching the count.

Unfortunately, sounds like in several other CDs, they were able to ram their slates through.

Just got back from Ron Paul victory party. This is a
Tough state because you really had to start organizing in 2010. That being said we got 5 of 6 in district 1 (those are free agents - 2 voting).
District 2 got 3 of 6 all the delegates spots and they ate free agents. (2 more for Paul)

District 3 got one of 6 the non voting slate B alternate (penalized delegate)

District 9 got the 2 voting delegates but not sure if they are bound to Romney.

That's all I know except we got a few delegates here and there across the other districts.

Hadn't heard yet from 4 which might have been positive.
 
Just got back from the after party. In District 1 we took all slots but one!!!!

We were able to vote for national delegates individually. Other districts weren't so lucky and the establishment only allowed them to vote on slates.
 
We got some decent totals overall. Well over 10 nationals and a few others. I hope my man, the state chair let's it loose on his count. We were outmatched 2:1 in some of Wayne yet the group has been fulfilled.

Decent ma friend
 
We got nothing in District 6. We didn't have enough votes to get the chair. The chair had us vote slate vs. slate by written ballot. The voting didn't take place until around 10PM, We didn't have enough votes to allow for 1 minute speeches by candidates (I think the party regulars simply wanted to go home), or to have individuals voted on instead of slates. Our organizers did an excellent job, everyone behaved professionally, we just didn't have the majority.

Can someone translate this to English for me?
 
Victory belongs to those who show up. Man I am so thankful and proud of all the good folks who showed up. Congrats ... your the best!

This is my interpretation. Correct me if I am wrong.
Michigan originally had 59 delegates but because they were penalized for moving their primary up, they now only have 30 delegates. There were 2 at-large delegates, and 28 "voting" delegates in CDs. The penalized delegates comprise another 14 delegates that are "non-voting".

In the districts where Santorum won (e.g. CD1), delegates are free agents, while in the districts where Romney won, delegates are likely bound to him (e.g. CD9).

In CD1, we got all 3 delegates (free agents b/c Santorum is out). 2 of them are voting, while 1 is not voting. We also got 2/3 alternate spots.

In CD2, we got all 3 delegates (free agents), while Romney got the alternates. Once again 2 of them are voting, while 1 is not.

In CD9, we got 2/3 delegates, and they are both voting delegates. However, since Romney won this CD, they may be bound to him.
