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 14 delegates. McCain has received the largest number of votes.


Tuesday 7 March 2000: All 14 of Rhode Island's delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to a presidential contender in today's Rhode Island Presidential Primary.

  • "The 14 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'".
