No, like everything else in NY, it's NOT straightforward with how they apportion by CD. These are basically the rules. 1) A candidate gets 50%+ of the vote, they take all 3 delegates. 2) A candidate gets < 50% of the vote, they take two (2) delegates from the CD so long as the 2nd place finisher gets >20% of the vote. 3) If a candidate gets <50% of the vote and the 2nd place finisher is under 20%, the candidate gets all 3 delegates; unless 4) every candidate gets <20% of the vote. Then the 3 delegates go uncommitted. Head spinning yet?
GOP primary voters have always voted for the more conservative candidate for major political offices such as gubernatorial candidates.
If they do their homework, like finding out that DONALD TRUMP donated $64,000+ to Andrew Cuomo, and $138,600 to the NY Dem Party, they will certainly vote for TED CRUZ.
They just need to be informed. Call a NY talk show, or write a letter to the editor.
Go to hell and don’t come back. Sick of your snotty attitude.
You have a super evening.
You too. Take care FRiend!
