Usually WTA is either 50% of the popular vote or 100% of districts. Do not need to win the districts by 50% of the vote.

Because trump is Blue dog dem....essentially a fake conservative, if that helps..
-————————————————————————————————— You make plenty of assertions. Perhaps you don’t like how people are voting. It seems you feel you know best.

I would like to see Cruz beat Kasich for second place in MI. That might be the impetus for Kasich to drop out before Ohio next week.

In Mississippi, Trump and Cruz combining for 85% of the vote. Wow, that is a colossal rejection of the GOPe.

Rubio is toast after tonight. Toast. Single digits in MI and low single digits in MS. I don't see him staying in the race for Florida. He might want to save face and drop out now.

Looks like Bernie might beat Shrillary in MI. Was that expected?

Why can't you accept Trump is running on a good fairly Constitutional conservative platform?

Because that is your perspective and it's not true!

As a Mormon myself, it’s more like Mitt’s “gone Gadianton”.

Can’t wait to see how rabid the GOPe becomes at next debate.

The old Romney “Michigan Magic” certainly didn’t hurt Trump this time. I actually handed out flyers for old George back in 66 when I lived up there.

Mississippi is proportional for State-wide delegates. Each district (4 districts) is winner-take-all if a candidate gets over 50%. Otherwise it goes 2 delegates for the winner, 1 delegate for second place.

But there is a 15% threshold for both State and Districts, so it looks like it will end up being close to 24 delegates for Trump and 16 delegates for Cruz, depending on each district’s counts.

Delegate threshold in MISS and MICH is 15% so Rubio will not be getting any delegates at all in these proportional states.

Again the concern is not so much the mode of fraud, hack or breach as it is having detection before it happens and authority to stop the counting. The concern is stopping it pre-emptively because it is near impossible to reverse it. . . think Donald will win the nomination, but will need to spend federal campaign funds and possibly his own to survey the GOP precinct captains and poll workers to ensure they are indeed on his team.

Thank you for your excellent summary. (I sadly remember the Rossi election.) The voter fraud issue has to be pre-emptively done as you said. I hope Trump's people are on this. BTW, have you offered your services to the Trump people? Just a thought. We can't let arguably the most important election in the history of our Republic be taken by the leftists.

That is not what trump is..

Hybrid proportional. If it were a two person race WTA would be more attainable. You need 50% of every district in MS to WTA. In MI you need 50% statewide to WTA. Otherwise, everything is proportional. I think there are something like 20% or 15% minimums to be awarded any delegates as well.
