Just wanted to start a thread for all incoming results... or would it be better to have one for each primary? I doubt it, so I started it right now.
Polls closing time in Eastern Time according to The Green Papers:
New Jersey 8 pm
New Mexico 9 pm
South Dakota 9 pm [NOTE: South Dakota is split between the Central Time Zone and Mountain Time Zone; the poll closing time of 9 pm ET is the time at which all polls throughout the State are closed]
Montana 10 pm
California 11 pm
Some notes on delegate allocation (according to Green Papers with annotations by me):
New Jersey:
All of New Jersey's 50 delegates to the Republican National Convention are bound to a presidential contender in today's New Jersey Presidential Primary.
- 50 delegates are bound to the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in the primary statewide.
- The delegate candidates appear on the ballot as a slate on the same ballot line, column or row as that of their respective presidential candidate. It is possible, however, for a voter to choose a delegate slate supporting a presidential contender other than the one for whom he/she might vote for in the Presidential Preference portion of the ballot.
- The 3 party leaders, the National Committeeman, the National Committeewoman, and the chairman of the New Jersey's Republican Party, will by virtue of their position, attend the convention pledged to the winner of the primary.
[I think all early results will refer to meaningless presidential preference. But I doubt that there will be a great difference. So in the end there is no chance to turn around the popular vote. NJ's 50 will surely go to Romney, I expect]
New Mexico:
- 20 of 23 of New Mexico's delegates to the Republican National Convention are bound to presidential contenders based on the results of the voting in today's New Mexico Presidential Primary. [Other 3 are RNC delegates)
- 20 National Convention delegates are to be bound proportionally to presidential contenders who receive 15% or more of the primary vote statewide.
[So there could be Paul delegates "bound" to Romney after the NM GOP convention]
South Dakota:
-25 of South Dakota's 28 delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders based on the results of the voting in today's South Dakota Presidential Primary. There is a 20% threshold.
- In addition, 3 RNC will attend the convention as unbound delegates. The SD Republican Party informed the Green Papers that the automatic delegates have decided to vote for the winner of the primary.
[I think that the actual delegates will be chosen at the state convention, so there could be Paul supporters "bound" to Romney. Correct me if I'm wrong]
Montana:
- Montana has a 100% non-binding Presidential Primary. The primary has no effect on delegate allocation.
- The participants of the GOP state convention alone determine if presidential preference is to be a factor and, if so, how it is to be applied.
California:
- 169 of 172 of California's delegates to the Republican National Convention are pledged to presidential contenders in today's California Presidential Primary.
- 159 district delegates are to be bound to presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the 53 congressional districts: each congressional district is assigned 3 National Convention delegates and the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in that district will receive all 3 of that district's National Convention delegates.
- 10 at-large delegates (10 base at-large delegates plus 0 bonus delegate) are to be bound to the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in the primary statewide.
- The selection of Presidential Nominating Convention Delegates to the Republican National Convention ... shall be chosen by the Presidential candidate who obtained the plurality of Republican votes within each Congressional district, and, for ... at large ... by the Presidential candidate who obtained the plurality of Republican votes statewide. [Standing Rules and Bylaws of the California Republican Party As Amended 20 March 2011 Article VI Section 6.01 (A)]
[So there is no real chance for Paul delegates "bound" to Romney, correct me if I'm wrong.]
