Unlike the other pre-Super Tuesday primaries, the Republican South Carolina primary features a hybrid system that isn’t quite proportional awarding or winner-take-all. Whoever wins the statewide primary will win 29 of the state’s 50 delegates. The 29 delegates come from the 13 (10 at-large and 3 for the party leadership) that every state gets, and 16 bonus delegates based on South Carolina’s loyalty to the Republican party.
After that, the remaining 21 delegates are awarded by Congressional districts — three delegates for each of the seven districts. The regional system means candidates are focusing in on specific areas of the state, hoping to win those delegates.
Thanks for the information!
