I thought each candidate had to get 20 percent popular vote in New York to begin getting delegates? Is that true?

I’m sure by now somebody in the Trump camp has read the New York Primary rules to the Donald.

When is the cut off date on whining about Colorado?

I hope it’s soon. Getting old.

Yes and no.

For the statewide haul, you have to be at 20% if the first place candidate finishes under 50% to get delegates.

However, that does not stop you from getting delegates from a Congressional District.

However, to get those delegates, you must finish with at least 20% of the vote in order to get a delegate so long as the first place finisher is under 50% in that district.

Confusing enough yet?
