Senator Cruz won the state's caucuses by less than 1,000 votes, despite Trump enjoying the endorsement of former Governor and 2008 Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin, the 9th Governor of Alaska. While Cruz performed best in the state's urban legislative districts, Trump won rural precincts in the Alaska Bush. Alaska was the only state where neurosurgeon Ben Carson carried a jurisdiction over the course of the primary, albeit one of the country's least populated.

An Alaska delegate challenged the results as recorded.Chairman of Alaska's Rep party said he doesn't know why 28 delegates went @realDonaldTrump but "it's going to be corrected in record" @ktva https://twitter.com/emilyreporting/status/755537491164221441 Carlson Emily Twitter July 23, 2016 However, RNC chair Reince Priebus defended the actions of the convention secretary, saying that the delegates were bound to Trump.Kopan Tal Payson-Denny Wade Why Alaska's delegates were counted for Donald Trump CNN Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/19/politics/alaska-delegates-donald-trump/index.html July 23, 2016 References Alaska Category:Alaska Republican caucuses Category:2016 elections in Alaska Category:March 2016 in the United States
