That brings us to California, which offers the biggest trove of delegates up for grabs—a total of 172. Our June 5th Presidential primary is “winner-take-all” by Congressional District. Even if a candidate wins a C.D. by just one vote, that candidate will gain all three delegates from that district.
A total of 159 delegates are distributed that way and an additional 10 are awarded to the statewide winner.
Realistically, to clinch his party’s nomination, let alone arrive in Tampa with an actual majority of delegates, Romney needs virtually to sweep California’s Congressional Districts.
