31 July 2000: On July 24, 2000 former Democratic Governor
Zell Miller was appointed to fill the late Republican
Paul Coverdell's Senate seat. Senator Zell Miller will attend the
convention as an unpledged PLEO delegate. This change increases the
size of the Georgia Delegation from 92 to 93 delegates.
30 April 2000: Unpledged delegate preference update: Gore 12, Bradley
0. Unpledged delegates appear in the "Soft Unpledged" field.
18 March 2000: Unpledged delegate preference update: Gore 11,
Bradley 0. Unpledged delegates appear in the "Soft Unpledged" field.
Bill Bradley, having withdrawn from the campaign, is no longer
entitled to receive At-Large and unpledged PLEO delegates (rule 9.C).
The 3 At-Large and 2 unpledged PLEO delegates originally assigned to
Bradley have been reassigned to Gore in our "Soft Pledged". The "Hard
Total" however, shows the delegates as originally assigned.
The Popular Vote above is from official
returns from the 7 March Primary.
Here's how we compute the delegate count:
- A candidate must receive 15% or more of the total popular vote to qualify for delegates. Discard those votes cast for candidates who do not qualify.
- Allocate Congressional District delegates from the qualified vote in each district. Allocate Pledged PLEO and At-Large delegates using the statewide qualified vote.
- In each jurisdiction:
- Total qualified vote = total votes cast for the qualifying candidates in the jurisdiction.
- Allocation = (delegates for the jurisdiction) × (candidate's popular vote) ÷ (total qualified vote).
- Assign each candidate the WHOLE NUMBER of delegates.
- If delegates remain, allocate each of the remaining delegates to those candidates with the LARGEST REMAINDERS.
