North Carolina Primaries for Statewide offices and Congress

21 July 2004 update: Democrat G. K. Butterfield was elected in a Special Election to fill the seat vacated by the resignation of Democratic Congressman Frank W. Ballance, Jr. on 11 June 2004. Congressman-elect Butterfield will attend the Democratic National Convention as an unpledged PLEO delegate. Since a Democrat is replacing a Democrat, the number of unpledged delegates from North Carolina remains the same.

Here's how we compute the delegate count (from results obtained from a party source on 13 May 2004):

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.
Allocate Congressional District delegates from the qualified vote in each district. Allocate Pledged PLEO and At-Large delegates using the state-wide qualified vote.
In each jurisdiction (CD and statewide):

Total qualified vote = total votes cast for the qualifying candidates in the jurisdiction.
Allocation = (delegates for the jurisdiction) × (candidate's popular vote) ÷ (total qualified vote).
Assign each candidate the WHOLE NUMBER of delegates.
If delegates remain, allocate each of the remaining delegates to those candidates with the LARGEST REMAINDERS.
