"Winner take all" isn't really 'winner take all' in the way it sounds.

There are delegates assigned per county/district and then 'state wide' delegates as well. Each area is winner take all within it's borders but doesn't effect the other areas. Similarly the 'state wide' delegates are assigned to whoever wins the vote state wide.
But it's not literally 'winner take all'.

Similar perhaps, BUT in a brokered convention where no one has a clear majority, delegates then become unbound and can vote for whoever they like. Not to mention binding doesn't stop them from electing liberty friendly party officials, which is crucial to the future of our movement.

IMHO, every Paul supporter should try to become a delegate.

How are delegates picked for Florida. Does the district chair get to pick one of their buddies or is there some sort of a vote.

I believe its a lottery :) (or vote) thats why every RP supporter should put their name in. Stuff the box.

did you also put this in the Florida forum?

I was going to try to become a delegate, but since I could not get the answers I needed, I gave up. Florida seems to be so far off peoples radar, that it is nearly impossible to get the questions answered that you need. Google is of no help.

IMO just write Florida off, its too late to get on the delegate list now anyways.

Did you contact the campaign or your local RP supports in FL? What about local GOP?

Contact your local meetups and see if they had delegate training. If they already have someone to run as delegate in your primary convention, then go there during it and vote for that person.

Good point. There is always a price for success. Some are willing to pay it, some are not.

Ron Paul has fought for you for 30+ years. Are you willing now to fight for Ron Paul when he needs that support?

It says:


Must be returned via certified or overnight mail to:
Republican Party of Florida
420 East Jefferson Street
Tallahassee, FL 32301

Usually the post mark date is the right one but it doesn't say so, so you might want to use postal express overnight, to make sure it is there on time. Certified mail is not overnight.
