Joementum posted:27 delegates are proportionally allocated to Presidential contenders based on the statewide vote. Each candidate receives (candidate's statewide vote) × 27 ÷ (total statewide vote) delegates. Round fractions to the nearest whole number. If there are too few delegates allocated, the candidate nearest the rounding threshold receives the additional delegate. If too many delegates are allocated, the candidate furthest the threshold looses a delegate. Three additional delegates, the three state party leaders, will also attend the national convention as unbound delegates. I, um...what? So they give a percentage of the 27 delegates, based on the statewide vote, but the part I don't get is what "nearest the rounding threshold" means. If they come up with 26 delegates after rounding, do they give the person with 1.9% the extra delegate instead of the person with 13.8%?

Concerned Citizen posted:If Candidate A is awarded 1.9, Candidate B has 1.4, and Candidate C has 1.2, then Candidate B would be awarded an additional delegate. Oh. I guess that makes sense (since Candidate A already got another delegate thanks to rounding).

MS sites appear to be working again? It just went from 5% to 6% for me.

Top Bunk Wanker posted:Was it really a joke, though? Trump did still manage to pull the second most votes in the history of Iowa GOP caucuses. So? At the time, John Kerry received the 2nd most votes in the history of the Presidential General Election. It didn't help.
