Official SOUTH CAROLINA Republican Primary returns from an official source as of 8 April 2008. 24 delegates to the Republican National Convention from SOUTH CAROLINA are to be pledged among presidential contenders based on the results of the voting in this Primary. We at 'The Green Papers' do not have an official breakdown of the manner in which these 24 delegates are to be pledged to presidential contenders: the most logical breakdown would be (since the following would be based on the original, pre-sanction pledging criteria): 12 delegates pledged to the primary winner statewide; and the 12 remaining delegates distributed in the following manner: 2 pledged to the highest vote-getter, among the presidential contenders, in each of the State's 6 Congressional Districts. However, we- as yet- have no specific confirmation that these will, indeed, be the pledging criteria actually utilized. Here's how we compute the delegate count (based on official results from a official source):
