Minor Delegate Tidying

While reading up on a few Republican party leaders who were officially declaring themselves for Mr. Romney, I noticed a couple of changes to the delegate allocations in North Dakota, Georgia, and Alaska.

Alaska and Georgia were simple changes. Finalized vote totals had lead to a slight reallocation of delegates. Mr. Santorum picked up 1 delegate in Alaska (8 total) at the expense of Newt and Newt picked up 1 delegate in Georgia (53 total) at the expense of Mr. Romney.

North Dakota was a bit more interesting. The North Dakota state convention met on April 1 and the vote totals changed rather dramatically over the caucus results. In the original allocation, Mr. Santorum won with 11 delegates, then Uncle Ron with 8, Mr. Romney with 7, and Newt with 2. At the convention, the attendees were heavy Romney backers and managed to get more of their people elected as delegates. Thus, the final total from North Dakota is now 20 delegates for Mr. Romney, 6 delegates for Mr. Santorum, and 2 for Uncle Ron. Newt was shut out.

So, our revised totals are 614 confirmed delegates for Mr. Romney (671 if you include caucus estimations and unbound pledges), 216 for Mr. Santorum (238 including caucus estimations and unbound pledges), 133 for Newt (143 including caucus estimations and unbound pledges), and 38 for Uncle Ron (63 including caucus estimations and unbound pledges).

Missouri and Minnesota elect more delegates on Saturday so we'll have updated totals then.
