Anyone have a % breakdown in TN?

We have a screwy delegate allocation system...looks like anyone with at least 20% of the vote will get some delegates...thanks

Fifty-eight delegates are at stake in TN. Each of the state’s nine congressional districts gets three delegates each, and those are handed out proportionally to the top three finishers. A candidate gets one if he takes at least 20 percent of the vote in the district, and he gets all three if he wins two-thirds of the vote.

Fourteen delegates are awarded proportionally based on the statewide vote. Candidates have to get at least 20 percent of the vote to get any, and they can take them all if they win two-thirds of the vote.

Another 14 delegates are chosen by the state party’s executive committee. Those typically are allocated based on the results of the primary.

Lastly the final three delegates are the state party chairman, the state’s committeeman at the RNC and the state’s committeewoman at the RNC, and they are uncommitted.
