Are the percentages for each state added together, or does each state count for one vote ??
neither. lol.
very screwy process
it's America, what can I say
states are assigned what are called delegates, based on population I assume
There are 2286 delegates at stake in the Republican primary.
A candidate must receive 1144 delegates to get the nomination.
Even more confusing, some states are winner take all, while others divide them up based on vote count.
Thus far, after voting in 3 states, Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, here is the delegate count
Gingrich - 23
Romney - 19
Santorum - 12
Paul - 3
Huntsman - 2
are you now thoroughly confused?
