There are 126 delegates representing 37 states and 403 votes. (Editor’s Note: these numbers have been corrected) (If I’m not mistaken the state chair gets to vote for all the unaccounted for delegate slots from his state.)
The states represented are: GA, VT, CA, CT, IL, LA, NJ, MN, ID, MD, NE, NV, OH, PA, MA, WA, IA, MI, IN, UT, MS, MO, SC, NC, TN, VA, CO, KS, KY, WV, WY, NY, AZ, FL, SD, OK, TX
Cheers !
I updated to include PA and CT. If you see any other states missing–please post here and say so or email me, Citizen1.
PA is present as is CT not mentioned. As for a states votes the chairman can either poll his delegates and cast them as winner take all or cast them proportionally according to the vote it is at his discretion.
PA has a full delegation present.
Any election results as of yet ?

…how? He has to earn a paycheck, doesn’t he? Is he retired or something?
Stufflebeam has indicated he will be a fulltime chairman IIANM.
NF–office probably won’t move. Not unless Stufflebeam or Fluckiger have one to offer.
NF–I doubt the office will move. A free law office is not something either other chairman candidate can likely offer.
Will the national office move from PA once the new national chair(man) takes office? Jim Clymer is a really nice guy but the CP has done pretty much zip in PA for the last several years. It hasn’t even made the ballot recently. Perhaps there is no PA delegation to the national convention!
They are not really “proxy” votes. States get presidential nomination votes on a points-earned basis according to a formula. So many points for congressional districts, previous presidential ballot access, statewide candidates, attendance at national meetings, payment of “assessments”, etc. The formula is in the party ByLaws. But regardless of performance, I recall that each state has a baseline of three (3) votes. The votes are per delegation, so the delegation decides how to divvy them up between their delegates – with no influence from the national exec committee.
Yes, there are “proxy votes” in play. For example, if their Chairman of Mississippi is there alone, but he has 6 votes to cast–then he casts all 6.
It makes sense, I think.
Yes, so would Gary Odom. Pretty sure that’s just a mistake…there should be some PA delegates in there somewhere.
I’m confused as to 302 votes? Does that mean there are more proxy votes (controlled by the state chairs) in play than living breathing voters ??? If so that rule needs to be changed, doesn’t look kosher to me!
Jed, me too. Wouldn’t Clymer at least be a delegate?
Surprised there’s no Pennsylvania delegation, considering the party is headquartered in Lancaster.
