18 March 2000: Unpledged delegate preference update: Gore 21, Bradley
2. 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Bill Bradley, having withdrawn from the campaign, is no longer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 8 At-Large and 5 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 based on official returns from the 7
March Primary. Votes for "No Preference" are recorded as
"Uncommitted".
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.
