The Illinois primary was a so-called "loophole" primary, in which delegates were assigned by direct-level voting on delegate candidates whose proclaimed presidential preferences were listed beside their names on the ballot (as opposed to be assigned based upon the performance of a candidate in the presidential preference vote). Congressional districts were allocated delegates based on the extent of the district's support for Bush in the 2000 presidential general election. Thus, Illinois's 6th, 8th, 10th, 11th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 18th, and 19th congressional districts each received four delegates, the 12th and 17th congressional districts each received three delegates, and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, and 9th congressional districts each received two delegates. Of the remaining thirteen unpledged delegates, ten were selected at the Illinois Republican Party Convention, while the other three consisted of the Illinois Republican Party's National Committeeman, National Committeewoman, and Chairman. Results Since incumbent George W. Bush was the only candidate contesting the Republican nomination for President of the United States and faced no major opponents, he received 100% of the popular vote, winning all 60 directly-elected delegates to the Republican National Convention. 2004 Illinois Republican presidential primaryElection Results https://www.elections.il.gov/ElectionOperations/ElectionVoteTotals.aspx dead https://web.archive.org/web/20200222093629/https://www.elections.il.gov/ElectionOperations/ElectionVoteTotals.aspx February 22, 2020 2024-05-04 www.elections.il.gov Candidate Votes Percentage Delegates George W.
