31 March 2000: John McCain is giving George Bush 6 delegates. The "Soft Pledged" now shows McCain 46, Bush 12. The "Hard Total" will continue to show the original McCain 52, Bush 6. (Reference: Michigan state Senator John Schwarz, Chairman of Michigan's delegation. Senator Schwarz headed up McCain's Michigan Campaign.)


The Popular Vote above is based on official returns from the 22 February Primary.

Here's how we estimate the delegate count:

  1. The candidate with the greatest popular vote in each of the 16 districts receives that district's 3 delegates. McCain won 14 districts, Bush won 2 districts.
  2. The candidate with the greatest statewide popular vote receives 10 delegates. McCain won statewide.

Michigan has 16 Congressional Districts and 83 Counties; 72 Counties are within one CD and 11 Counties are split between more than one CD. A complete list of counties appears below.

Tuesday 22 February 2000: all 58 of Michigan's delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders based on the results of the voting in today's Michigan Presidential Primary.

  • "48 district delegates are to be allocated to presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the state's 16 congressional districts: each congressional district is assigned 3 National Convention delegates and the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in that district, notwithstanding that candidate's percentage of the total primary vote in the district, will receive all 3 of that district's National Convention delegates. In addition, 10 delegates (6 base at-large delegates plus 4 bonus delegates) are to be allocated to the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in the primary statewide, notwithstanding that candidate's percentage of the total primary vote statewide."

The following listing of the Minor Civil Divisions (also known as "County Subdivisions") included in each Congressional District of which the so-called DIVIDED COUNTIES are a part contains references to the Townships and the Cities only. There are two types of Municipality in Michigan: the City and the Village- but, while the City is administratively and governmentally separate from any Township, the Village remains a part of its Township and, thus, is itself a further subdivision of the Township; therefore, Villages- unlike Cities and Townships- do not constitute Minor Civil Divisions/County Subdivisions of the first order in the State of Michigan and, thus, no Villages are noted in this listing:
