Cruz will walk away with a few and so will Kasick

It's winner take all by congressional district for 81 of the 95 delegates. 11 are proportional on the overall vote. So which districts are Cruz or Kasich going to win?

No, like everything else in NY, it's NOT straightforward with how they apportion by CD. These are basically the rules. 1) A candidate gets 50%+ of the vote, they take all 3 delegates. 2) A candidate gets < 50% of the vote, they take two (2) delegates from the CD so long as the 2nd place finisher gets >20% of the vote. 3) If a candidate gets <50% of the vote and the 2nd place finisher is under 20%, the candidate gets all 3 delegates; unless 4) every candidate gets <20% of the vote. Then the 3 delegates go uncommitted. Head spinning yet?
