There are no* winner take all states for the GOP today

*There are several states where a candidate getting more 50% of the statewide vote gives them all of the delegates automatically. If no candidate gets 50% (most likely scenario) then there's a mixed version of proportional, which varies from state to state. There are a few winner-take-most in that mix.

Ah, I was just going on what I had heard reported. I should have looked more closely. -- nm - spamlet Mar 1, 06:43 7
- Not saying you're wrong that they could choose to be winner-take-all today, just none have chosen to - ty97 Mar 1, 06:44 6
  - Ahh, here we go. All states voting March 1-14 are some version of proportional. It goes full winner-take-all after March 15 - ty97 Mar 1, 06:48 5
    - My gosh, the #nevertrump faction is screwed. -- nm - ty97 Mar 1, 06:54

      - ah okay, so wording in my lined article maybe should have said 'could be' winner take all after March 15. - ty97 Mar 1, 06:55 2
        
        See, it's too damn difficult if (mostly) smart people can't figure it out. -- nm - spamlet Mar 1, 06:58 1
