Delegates and the gop nomination?

[DAVOL]

As some of you all know I am no way a supporter of the gop but I was looking over the number of delegates for the upcoming primaries and was wondering how they come up with each states number of alotted delegates. I noticed where Georgia awards 76 delegates yet Michigan and Arizona both award less than 30 and Michigan has slightly more people than Georgia maybe one of you all have the answer? (Before some a$$ tells me google is my friend I did not feel like reading through some drivel when one of you all could give me the answer in laymans terms.)

You could skip google if you wanted...

... and use bing instead!


I don't have the answer to your question myself. I have never cared enough about that process to dig into it. I do know that Florida got its number cut because they held their primary out of turn. So I think more than population goes into it.

The answer is... I have no idea.

I've heard the whole thing explained before, and it basically seems like there's no rhyme or reason to the process whatsoever.

Several states have been penalized for holding primaries too early. I think it's so many delegates per district, then a few for each Senator and then a few that are unbound by the outcome of the primary/caucus. Then there's also something about states with GOP majorities getting a few more delegates. So in other words . . . . I have no idea.

I think theres a midget potato sack race involved somewhere, and the octopus that picked world cup games

It's sort of like the electoral college, but the college they went to is the University of Phoenix.
