This is a "Loophole" Primary, one in which delegate candidates are listed on the ballot as individuals but there is also a presidential preference vote atop the ballot: a so-called "beauty contest", the results of which have no effect on the allocation of National Convention delegates. 9 district delegates (3 delegates from each of the state's 3 Congressional Districts) are to be elected directly and are individually listed on the ballot with their presidential preferences indicated, while 18 at-large delegates are to be elected directly statewide and are individually listed on the ballot with their presidential preferences indicated: thus, each voter gets to choose up to 21 Republican National Convention delegates (the 3 from his or her Congressional District plus the 18 at-large delegates). http://www.TheGreenPapers.com/P04/WV-R.phtml ------------------------- West Virginia State Primary (Governor, 3 U.S. House Seats, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Treasurer, Auditor, Commissioner of Agriculture) Contested races: State offices--- Governor: Democrat, Republican Secretary of State: Democrat Commissioner of Agriculture: Republican Congress of the United States--- U.S. House of Representatives: CD 2: Democrat CD 3: Republican http://www.TheGreenPapers.com/G04/WV.phtml ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wednesday 12 May 2004 ========================= Connecticut Democratic State Central Committee This the final step in allocating Connecticut's 62 delegates to the Democratic National Convention.
