Kasich .02 of the vote, and Rubio .01. Now that’s funny.

It's more than just funny, it's weird. If the article is correct and only 471 votes were cast, and Kasich got .02%, then 9/100 of one person voted for Kasich.

CNMI may have done this to show they are different from Guam. Saipan is a weird place with some strange unconstitutional laws.

I am glad they went for Trump but the CNMI (Saipan) is about the oddest place you’ll ever visit.

I’m a bit confused as to why all these island nations have a say in our primary process, yet are not allowed to vote in the general election. Seems odd to me. Curious.

This doesn’t make any sense. .01 percent of the votes is well under one vote.

I had read a few days ago that Trump had secured the endorsement of the head of the Northern Marianas GOP. That supposedly sealed the deal. Now that I see they only had 500 or so voters, I can see why.

I'm ashamed to admit I was only vaguely aware they are a US Territory, much less had a voting privilege for the nomination.

Nine delegates is a pretty big haul for so few votes. Thumbs up to Corey L for sealing that deal.

Doesn*t one of the *rules* specify that the candidate must win over 50% in at least 8 contests?

If so, Northern Marianas Islands vote might be significant.
