Selene Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Such a complicated process we have which the agenda driven media has no clue how to analyze. Republican Party Maine is expected to have 23 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Of this total, six will be district-level delegates (three for each of the state's two congressional districts). District-level delegates will be allocated on a proportional basis; a candidate must win at least 10 percent of the statewide caucus vote in order to be eligible to receive any of the state's district delegates.[2] Example: Assume that there are two presidential candidates in Maine's Republican caucuses. Candidate A won 67 percent of the statewide caucus vote, and Candidate B won 33 percent. Candidate A would receive four of the state's district delegates while Candidate B would receive two. Of the remaining 17 delegates, 14 will serve at-large. At-large delegates will be allocated proportionally; a candidate must win at least 10 percent of the statewide caucus vote in order to be eligible to receive any of the state's at-large delegates. In addition, three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates) will serve as bound delegates to the Republican National Convention. The RNC delegates will be required to pledge their support to the winner of the state's caucuses.[2] General election Electoral vote allocation Maine and Nebraska are the only two states to use the "congressional district method" of allocating electoral votes among candidates. Most states use the "winner-take-all" method, in which the winner of the statewide popular vote receives all of that state's electoral votes. In Nebraska and Maine, on the other hand, "The winner of each [congressional] district is awarded one electoral vote, and the winner of the statewide vote is then awarded the state's remaining two electoral votes."[3] Maine implemented this method in 1972, with Nebraska following in 1996. Neither state had occasion to split their electoral votes until 2008, when Barack Obama (D) received one of Nebraska's five electoral votes, and John McCain (R) received the remaining four.[3] ........................................................................................................................ Nebraska is expected to have 36 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Of this total, nine will be district-level delegates (three for each of the state's three congressional districts). Nebraska's district delegates will be allocated on a winner-take-all basis; the plurality winner of the statewide primary vote will receive all of the state's district delegates.[10] Of the remaining 27 delegates, 24 will serve at-large. Nebraska's at-large delegates will be allocated on a winner-take-all basis; the plurality winner of the statewide primary vote will receive all of the state's at-large delegates. In addition, three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates) will serve as bound delegates to the Republican National Convention. The RNC delegates will be required to pledge their support to the winner of the state's primary.[10] Leadership As of October 2015, the executive director of the Nebraska Republican Party was Bud Synhorst.[11] The website for the Nebraska Republican Party lists the following individuals as the party's state leadership:[12] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
