The Popular Vote above is based on official returns from the 6
June Primary. This Presidential Primary coincides with a
state/local primary. These coinciding primaries tend to have an impact
upon voter turnout.
Bush is the only candidate to receive 15% of the vote and is likely to
receive all the delegates.
Tuesday 6 June 2000: All 21 of New Mexico's delegates to the Republican
National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders based on
the results of the voting in today's New Mexico Presidential Primary.
- "9 district delegates are to be allocated proportionally to
presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the
state's 3 congressional districts (each congressional district being
assigned 3 National Convention delegates). In addition, 12 at-large
National Convention delegates (6 base at-large delegates plus 6 bonus
delegates) are to be allocated to presidential contenders based on the
primary vote statewide. A 15 percent threshold is required in order for
a presidential contender to be allocated National Convention delegates
at either the congressional district or statewide level."
