Are the districts WTA? Some states do sort of a proportional thing where if two candidates get more than 20% but less than 50% they are split 2 and 1.

The site I’m looking at just says proportional, but no details.

CDs in IL and MO are WTA. It really depends on the particular state at the end of the day.

Cruz and Trump will most likely both take delegates in IL and MO.

Interestingly enough, on the first WTA day, NC is strictly proportional. You need just 1.4% to get a delegate.

No, in Illinois, the primary isn’t WTA. At the top of the ballot, we vote for a presidential candidate. Under that, we vote for delegate. Each of the 18 congressional districts elects two or three delegates, depending upon how many Republicans live in that district. In my district, the 10th, about 35 people are running for three delegate seats. A voter, in that district, could vote for delegate candidates who support Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich, if he or she wanted to do that. Since we vote for the presidential candidate and the delegate candidates, in different races, it’s possible for a presidential candidate to get 90% of the vote and get only 10% of the delegates.
