Tuesday 14 March 2000: All 37 of Tennessee's delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders in today's Tennessee 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, 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 at-large 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. This winning candidate will be said to have received the 'final net primary vote': note, however, that it will be possible- by winning delegates at the 'winner-take-all' congressional district level- for a presidential contender other than the one so receiving the final net primary vote statewide to be allocated National Convention delegates in the Tennessee Presidential Primary. A majority of the votes, however, is required in order for a presidential contender to be allocated National Convention delegates in this winner-take-all system at either the congressional district or statewide level. If the candidate with the highest total votes in a district fails to receive a majority of the vote in that district, the 3 National Convention delegates from that district are to be allocated proportionally to presidential contenders based on the primary results in that congressional district. If the candidate with the highest total of the votes statewide should fail to get a majority of the vote statewide, the 6 base at-large National Convention delegates plus 4 bonus delegates are to be allocated to presidential contenders based on the primary vote statewide. If this proportional system is thus invoked by a failure of the top vote-getting contender to get a majority of the votes cast at either the district or statewide level, a 20 percent threshold is required in order for a presidential contender to be allocated National Convention delegates."
