26 May 2004 Unpledged delegate preference update: Kerry: 8. Unpledged delegates appear in the "Soft Unpledged" column.

The Florida Democratic Party nominated only 9 of 13 candidates who filed for ballot access for the 9 March 2004 Presidential Primary. Those who were not nominated and did not appear on the ballot are: Fern Penna, Donald J. Reaux, Ray Buttercup Rollinson, and Lucian Wojciechowski.

The Popular Vote above is based on official returns from the Florida Department of State for the 9 March Primary.

Results from an official source: http://election.dos.state.fl.us/Elections/ResultsArchive/enight.asp

Here's how we compute the delegate count:

  1. A candidate must receive 15% or more of the total popular vote to qualify for delegates. Discard votes cast for those candidates who do not meet the threshold.
  2. Allocate Congressional District delegates from the qualified vote in each district. Allocate Pledged PLEO and At-Large delegates using the state-wide qualified vote.
  3. In each jurisdiction (CD and statewide):
    1. Total qualified vote = total votes cast for the qualifying candidates in the jurisdiction.
    2. Allocation = (delegates for the jurisdiction) × (candidate's popular vote) ÷ (total qualified vote).
    3. Assign each candidate the WHOLE NUMBER of delegates.
    4. If delegates remain, allocate each of the remaining delegates to those candidates with the LARGEST REMAINDERS.
