The 155 delegates to the Republican National Convention were allocated in this way. 108 delegates are allocated by congressional district; 3 per district. If a candidate gets over 50% of the vote in a congressional district; they would win all of the district's 3 delegates. If no one had a majority and one candidate had at least 20% of the vote, the candidate winning the plurality would get 2 delegates and the candidate in second place would get 1 delegate. If nobody receives at least 20% of the vote, the top 3 vote-getters each get 1 delegate. There were another 47 at-large delegates. If someone received more than 50% of the vote, they would get all of the at-large delegates. If no one got more than 50% of the vote and there were at least 2 candidates that got over 20% of the vote, the delegates would be allocated proportionally among the candidates receiving more than 20% of the vote. If only one candidate got over 20% of the vote and not a majority, the delegates would be allocated between the candidate that got over 20% of the vote and the candidate who received the 2nd most votes. If no candidate got 20%, they would allocate all of the 47 at-large delegates proportionally.http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P16/TX-R Texas Republican Delegation 2016 www.thegreenpapers.com 2017-02-23 Debate 11 Results + 2016 Texas Republican Party presidential primaryhttp://elections.sos.state.tx.us/elchist273_state.htm Race Summary Report: 2016 Republican Party Primary Election March 1, 2016 Texas Secretary of State July 14, 2016CandidatePopular voteDelegatesCountPercentage 14px Ted Cruz1,241,11843.76%104Donald Trump758,76226.75%48Marco Rubio503,05517.74%3John Kasich120,4734.25%0Ben Carson117,9694.16%0Jeb Bush35,4201.25%0Uncommitted29,6091.04%0Rand Paul8,0000.28%0Mike Huckabee6,2260.22%0Elizabeth Gray5,4490.19%0Chris Christie3,4480.12%0Carly Fiorina3,2470.11%0Rick Santorum2,0060.07%0Lindsey Graham1,7060.06%0Total:2,836,488100%155 Key:Withdrew prior to contest References 30em Texas Republican primary 2016
