Are you sure...
I didn’t want to give out bad info so I rechecked at Politico’s graphics site. I’m not sure how reliable they are but their site showed Kasich winning 6 precincts in CT., but no delegates. On the other hand, Trump won all of the delegates from CT. Scout’s honor.
However, their graphics also showed Trump winning all 5 counties in RI, but- credited Kasich with winning 5 delegates in RI, and Cruz winning 1 delegate in RI. Make sense? Perhaps those are the towns or cities you speak of where both candidates won delegates? Politico’s site doesn’t show where in RI., Cruz and Kasich won their delegates.
By the way, the links to CT., and RI., are in my post that I sent to kabar. Check it out for yourself.
I’m not trying to be right so much as accurate because the fact that Trump won every single county in all 5 states is phenomenal. Please verify my claim as I welcome a second pair of eyes. It’s getting late and I was going to go to bed and yet here I am hammering away on the ol’ keyboard.
In RI, if you have more than 10% you get 1 delegate, Over 50 gets 3 delegate and 2nd place gets 2.
A lot of the New England states (CT, RI, MA, VT, NH and maybe even ME (I can’t remember right now)), will break down vote by town. I can tell you from living in NY Greenwich is a town, not a precinct as is Stamford, New Haven, etc.
Connecticut was WTA by virtue of Trump breaking 50% statewide. Greenpapers has him winning every CD. Eyeballing the map, i know he took each county.
As far as Rhode Island goes, the rules are complex.
There are two Congressional Districts in RI, six delegates total. (2x3)
As long as all three candidates broke 10%, they were assured of a delegate from each CD.
That happened in CD-1, so Cruz, Kasich and Trump each got a delegate.
In CD-2, Cruz missed the 10% threshold, so Trump took 2 delegates and Kasich 1.
Rhode Island also apportioned their 3 statewide RNC delegates the same as they did with Congressional Districts.
Trump, Cruz and Kasich each took.
So with the first set of votes tallied, it was Trump 4, Kasich 3, Cruz 2.
Rhode Island had 10 more delegates to allocate based on the statewide vote. But had a peculiar rule where fractionals were rounded down. The additional delegate(s) were given to the winner.
Trump finished with roughly 64% of the vote and was awarded 6 delegates.
Kasich finished with roughly 24% of the vote and was awarded 2 delegates.
Cruz finished with just over 10% of the vote and was awarded 1 delegate.
Since 6+2+1=9, Trump was given the extra delegate. (7 total).
The final numbers were Trump 11, Kasich 5, Cruz 3.
I hope that explains some things. Rhode Island was not straightforward at all.
