Hi, troll-boy.

Here's a literal cut-and-paste, together with the link.

15 (c) If any candidate receives more than fifty percent (50%) of the total vote cast for all
16 candidates in the Republican presidential primary, all delegates available to Idaho under the
17 Rules of the Republican National Committee shall be apportioned to that candidate.
18
19 Section 4: (a) If a candidate receives more than fifty percent (50%) of the vote in the
20 Republican presidential primary, the candidate is entitled to have eighty percent (80%) of all
21 the delegates and alternates apportioned to Idaho selected from their lists of delegates and
22 alternates provided to the Chairman. If the candidate’s list of delegates or list of alternates
23 does not include a sufficient number of names to fill each slot allocated to the candidate, the
24 unfilled delegate or alternate slots will be filled at the State Party Convention.

So it's not 50% of the delegates, like you lied. It's 50% of the votes.

He’s apologized several times and corrected the misinformation.

He wasn’t trolling there. Greenpapers had the following, which was wrong:

If one candidate wins more than 50% of the National Convention Delegates, that candidate receives all the National Convention Delegates. [Idaho Republican Party State Rules. Idaho Rules for Selection of Delegates to the National Convention and State Convention. Article VI. Section 3.(a)]

Otherwise, if at least 1 candidate receives 20% or more of the statewide vote, the National Conventions delegates are allocated proportionally to those candidates receiving 20% or more of the statewide vote. [Idaho Republican Party State Rules. Idaho Rules for Selection of Delegates to the National Convention and State Convention. Article VI. Section 3.(b)]

Otherwise, National Conventions delegates are allocated proportionally. [Idaho Republican Party State Rules. Idaho Rules for Selection of Delegates to the National Convention and State Convention. Article VI. Section 3.(b)]

Those were the 2014 Caucus rules, not the 2015 Primary rules.
