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.

You’re doing good. I’ll take your word for it, as I’ve been looking at counties, which is a great trivia exercise, but the two CD’s are what actually matter.

I’ve also been staring at the RI GOP Delegate Selection Plan until I’m blue in the face.

I have also been taking on water at the State of RI., Board of Elections- Election Results.
