All 19 Rhode Island delegates to the Republican National Convention are bound to the presidential contenders in today's Rhode Island primary. If a candidate receives 50% or more of the statewide vote, that candidate receives all 19 delegates. Otherwise, the 19 delegates are bound proportionally to those candidates receiving 20% or more of the statewide vote. We do not have the rounding rules.
