The Popular Vote above is based on official returns from the 7 March Primary.

Here's how we estimate the delegate count:

  1. The candidate receiving the highest popular vote receives 25 delegates. McCain has received the greatest number of votes.


Tuesday 7 March 2000: All 25 of Connecticut's delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to a presidential contender in today's Connecticut Presidential Primary.

  • "The 25 National Convention delegates are to be allocated to the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in the primary statewide, notwithstanding that candidate's percentage of the total primary vote statewide. This winning candidate will be said to have received the 'final net primary vote'".
