The Popular Vote above is based on official returns from the 4 April Primary. Votes cast for "Uninstructed Delegation" are shown as "Uncommitted".

While the district vote is not yet available, Bush has probably won most, if not all, of the 27 district delegates. Bush has won all 10 statewide delegates.

Here's how we estimate the delegate count:

  1. The candidate with the greatest popular vote in each of the 9 Congressional Districts receives that district's 3 delegates.
  2. The candidate with the greatest statewide popular vote receives 10 delegates.

Tuesday 4 April 2000: All 37 of Wisconsin's delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders in today's Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin Presidential Primary."

Wisconsin has 72 counties and 9 congressional districts: 55 counties are wholly within a given congressional district and 17 counties are divided among more than one congressional district
