Romney Wins Majority of Michigan Delegates
Key “battleground” state defines GOP leader
LANSING, MI – The Michigan Republican Party today announced that the 60 Republican delegates to the National Convention will be allocated based on Tuesday’s results, in the following manner:
Romney - 45 Delegates; McCain - 10 Delegates; Huckabee - 2 Delegates
Gov. Romney won 13 of the 15 Congressional Districts, Sen. McCain won the 1st and 6th Congressional Districts and Gov. Huckabee was allocated two of the At-Large delegates.
Regular delegates are allocated “winner take all” by congressional district. Meaning, the winner in each of Michigan’s 15 Congressional Districts will receive the three delegates from that district. The proportion of the statewide vote that was cast for each candidate allocates the 12 at-large delegates. Candidates needed at least 15-percent of the total votes cast to qualify for a portion of the at-large delegates. Finally, the RNC-member delegates – Chairman Saul Anuzis, National Committeewoman Holly Hughes, and National Committeeman Chuck Yob – are uncommitted delegates to the national convention.
