Republican Delegate Allocation - 2008

TheGreenPapers.com will be tracking delegate counts as both "Soft" (here assuming that relevant delegations will remain sanctioned into the National Convention [that is: with half the originally allocated delegates to be seated at the Republican National Convention]) and as "Alternative" (here assuming that the full delegation of an affected jurisdiction- as originally allocated before being sanctioned- is eventually to be seated [that is, at some point before the Convention, sanctions will be lifted]) from now until the Party's National Convention convenes or until no delegation is any longer sanctioned, if this should occur prior to the Convention.

On 8 November 2007, the Republican National Committee voted 121 to 9 to sanction 5 states for beginning their Presidential Nominating Process prior to 5 February 2008 in violation of Party Rule 16. Florida, New Hampshire, Michigan, South Carolina, and Wyoming will each lose half of their delegates to the National Convention.

"The Rules of the Republican Party"adopted by the RNC 30 August 2004:

Delegate selection primaries, caucuses, and conventions will begin on Tuesday 5 February 2008 and end 35 days before the National Convention (Monday 28 July 2008).

The computations used to create this 2008 delegate allocation document are based on the rules established during the 2004 National Convention.
Republicans base delegates are determined by the number of U.S. Senators and U.S. House Members elected by each state.
Bonus delegates are awarded based on the number of party members elected as Presidential Electors (2004), Governors (2004-2007), House members (2004-2007), Senators (2002-2007), and state legislatures (2004-2007).
