On the basis of this 6 May 2008 media article, we have changed our soft count to from McCain 32, Huckabee 6, available 3 to McCain (32+5+3)=40, Paul 1, uncommitted 0. Our hard count remains McCain 32, Huckabee 6, Uncommitted 3-- as originally allocated.

"Huckabee frees delegates, supports McCain "...Mike Huckabee has released the Oklahoma delegates he won during the state's presidential primary this year. Huckabee encouraged the six delegates ... to vote for Republican presumptive presidential nominee John McCain ... and "all but one” of them said they would vote for McCain. The other delegate is going to vote for U.S. Rep. Ron Paul ... Oklahoma has three additional delegates — [Gary] Jones and two national committee members — who are committed to McCain.".

OKLAHOMA Republican PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY

Tuesday 5 February 2008

38 of Oklahoma's 41 delegates to the Republican National Convention are pledged to presidential contenders in today's Oklahoma Presidential Primary: 15 delegates are to be allocated to presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the 5 congressional district (each congressional district is assigned 3 National Convention delegates); 23 delegates allocated to presidential contenders based on the primary results statewide. Delegates are allocated to the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in the primary at either level.

Here's how we compute the delegate count (based on certified returns from an official source):

1. The candidate receiving the most votes in each CD is awarded 3 delegates.
2. The candidate receiving the most votes statewide is awarded 23 delegates.
