New York Offers Delegate Haul – If One Candidate Dominates


2016New York Republicans have 95 delegates at stake in Tuesday’s primary — a big haul if one candidate dominates. But to dominate, he will have to do well in 28 separate elections, all within the state.

This is how it works:

———

STATEWIDE

Fourteen delegates will be allocated according to the statewide vote. If a candidate gets more than 50 percent of the vote, he gets all 14. Otherwise, they are awarded proportionally among the candidates who get more than 20 percent of the vote.

———

CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS

New York has 27 congressional districts, with three delegates at stake in each (for a total of 81).

If a candidate gets more than 50 percent in a district, he gets all three delegates. Otherwise, they are awarded proportionally among the candidates who get more than 20 percent in that district.
