[Repeal 16-17]

Each candidate for nomination for President of the United States and Vice President of the United States shall demonstrate the support of a majority of the delegates from each of eight (8) or more states, severally, prior to the presentation of the name of that candidate for nomination.

Does this mean a candidate doesn't need a majority of the delegates, only a majority of the delegates from each of at least 8 States? This would mean that if a candidate could win at least 8 winner-take-all States, that candidate would be the nominee even if he did not have a majority of the nationwide total of delegates.

[Dr. Sivana]

It means that for the name to be placed for nomination, he has to have that many states. Ostensibly, that would be to avoid having 14 candidates submitted. However, setting the bar at eight is very high. The winner still needs a majority of the seated delegates.
