6 May 2000: 477 state convention delegates met today in Cheyenne
today. A report in the Wyoming Tribune states that the 10 delegates
selected today favor Bush. Wyoming's delegates are officially "not
bound" so we have listed them as "Uncommitted" in the "Hard Total" and
their Presidential Preference appears in the "Soft Unpledged"
column.
10 March 2000: 12 of Wyoming's 22 delegates were selected at today's
county conventions. 11 delegates favored Bush and 1 favored McCain.
Wyoming's delegates are not officially bound to any candidate. Results
of the Non-binding straw polls conducted at the 22 county conventions
are: Bush 78%, McCain 10%, and Keyes 12% of the vote. Wyoming's
delegates are officially "not bound" so we have listed them as
"Uncommitted" in the "Hard Total" and their Presidential Preference
appears in the "Soft Unpledged" column.
Friday 10 March 2000: Republican Party County Conventions meet in
each county. Each County Convention chooses the county's delegates to
the Wyoming State Republican Convention.
- "The County Conventions choose 12 of Wyoming's 22 delegates to
the Republican National Convention (though I am not yet sure exactly
how this works, as Wyoming has 23 counties: obviously, the preferences
of County Conventions in more than one county must somehow be combined
to produce a single National Convention delegate from those counties).
There is no formal system applied in the County Convention to relate
the presidential preference of the Convention participants to the
choice of either the county's delegates to the State Convention or the
delegate(s) to the National Convention the County Convention is helping
to choose. The participants at each County Convention alone determine
if presidential preference is to be a factor in such choices and, if
so, how it is to be applied."
Saturday 6 May 2000: The Wyoming State Republican Convention
convenes 6 in Cheyenne. The State Convention chooses the remaining 10
of Wyoming's delegates to the Republican National Convention.
- "Again, there is no formal system of allocating Wyoming's
National Convention delegates to presidential contenders. The
delegates to the State Convention alone determine if presidential
preference is to be a factor and, if so, how it is to be applied to the
choosing of the 10 National Convention delegates."
