Revision as of 21:28, July 21, 2024
, 21:28, July 21, 2024→Delegates: add calculation
Each state is allocated a number of delegates, based on a mix of:
Each state is allocated a number of delegates, based on a mix of:
*a fixed number (13) for each state regardless of its size or party performance (the state's chair, state's national committeeman, and state's national committeewoman are automatically delegates to the national convention, plus each state is allocated an additional ten delegates),
*a fixed number (13) for each state regardless of its size or party performance (the state's chair, state's national committeeman, and state's national committeewoman are automatically delegates to the national convention, plus each state is allocated an additional ten delegates),
*three delegates for each member of the United States House of Representatives (not just Republican member), and
*three delegates for each member of the United States House of Representatives (not just Republican members), and
*additional "bonus" delegates which are awarded based on the party's performance in Presidential elections and in electing officials at the Federal and state levels; this last portion rewards Republican-leaning states such as Texas (which will receive the maximum number of bonus delegates at the 2020 convention), while punishing Democrat-leaning states such as California (which at the 2020 convention will receive no additional delegates).
*additional "bonus" delegates which are awarded based on the party's performance in Presidential elections and in electing officials at the Federal and state levels; this last portion rewards Republican-leaning states such as Texas (which received the maximum number of bonus delegates at the 2024 convention), while punishing Democrat-leaning states such as California (which at the 2024 convention received no additional delegates). The "bonus" delegates are calculated as follows and each category is separate (thus a state can, and often does, receive numerous bonus delegates):
#if a state casts its electoral votes (or a majority thereof) for the Republican candidate for President, it is awarded 4.5 bonus delegates plus additional bonus delegates equal to 60% of its electoral votes, with any fraction rounded upwards,
#one bonus delegate if its Governor is a Republican,
#one bonus delegate if at least one-half of a state's Representatives in the United States House of Representatives are Republicans,
#one bonus delegate if a majority of one state legislative chamber are Republicans, and one additional bonus delegate if a majority of both chambers are Republicans, and
#one bonus delegate for '''''each''''' Republican United States Senator.
Territories and the District of Columbia are also allocated a set number of delegates.
Territories and the District of Columbia are also allocated a set number of delegates. Unlike the Democrat convention which has additional delegates for "Democrats abroad", there is no such category in the Republican convention.
