Today is Indiana’s primary election day where it’s an open primary and 57 delegates are at stake. It’s another quasi-winner-take-all/proportional state.
According to the Green Papers, 30 delegates are statewide and the other 27 are divided up by congressional districts:
Tuesday 3 May 2016: all 57 of Indiana’s delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders in today’s Indiana Presidential Primary.
- 27 district delegates are to be allocated to presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the 9 congressional districts: each congressional district is assigned 3 National Convention delegates and the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in that district will receive all 3 of that district’s National Convention delegates.
- 30 (10 base at-large delegates plus 17 bonus delegates plus 3 RNC delegates) statewide delegates are to be allocated to the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes statewide.
The polls in Indiana close tonight at 6pm and I expect (translate: hope) this to be close enough that it won’t be called for a while.
Here’s a hopeful tweet from this morning:
A private poll, not with the Cruz campaign or super PAC, came out of the field this morning in IN. This race is inside the margin of error.
