If you know the info for anything which is missing from the above table, please post in this thread and let us know, or PM me. Thanks.

[opinionatedfool]

CD7, we got zero of three on delegates. I'm not sure what is going on with Alternates.

Did you mean for your fifth column title to be Ron Paul Alternates?

Might be good to have a Romney column for comparison.

[dude58677]

So we did well in Virginia!

[sailingaway]

Remember there are 49 in all and basically it sounds like the party will have control of who 16 of them are, or are they chosen by state convention in some way where we will be represented? 10 are at large 3 automatic and 3 'bonus'.

[opinionatedfool]

CD3 got 3 out of 3. Currently VA is 15 out of 24. Three more CDs to go.

I'm not sure how the other 16 are chosen.

Thanks for the CD7 info. Yes, the 5th column title was supposed to be Ron Paul Alternates. Will fix. I am assuming that whatever Paul didn't get went to Romney.

TGP says this: 49 total delegates - 10 base at-large / 33 re: 11 congressional districts / 3 party / 3 bonus

What's currently going are the elections for the "33 re: 11 congressional districts".

10 base at-large will be selected at the VA GOP State Convention on Saturday 16 June 2012 in Richmond.

"3 party" = Party Chairman Pat Mullins + National Committeeman Morton Blackwell + National Committeewoman Kathy Terry.

How are the "3 bonus" selected? Does anyone know? tsai3904? NC also has "3 bonus" listed which I am not clear on.


CD3 got 3 out of 3. Currently VA is 15 out of 24. Three more CDs to go.

I'm not sure how the other 16 are chosen.

CD3 got 3 out of 3 -> 3 out of 3 DELEGATES? What about the alternates?

[lib3rtarian]

Table updated. Still missing some info.

[PauliticsPolitics]

Table updated. Still missing some info.
Any chance you can put the table in numerical order by CD#? also, you have CD3 missing even though reported here.

[digitaldean]

Check out this link for a couple more numbers:

[Icymudpuppy]

Missing and "i" in thread title. Glance reading I read something else...

[lib3rtarian]

Table updated. Sorted by CD. Title fixed.

I need confirmation on CD04. This (http://www.dailypaul.com/232717/virginia-district-conventions-may-12) DP thread says 2/3 delegates, but I had read elsewhere 1/3 (I can't find that thread now). Which is correct??

[juvanya]

I like this

[KMX]

Looks like we got a good

Submitted by Virginian on Sat, 05/12/2012 - 17:26. Permalink


Looks like we got a good number so far.
Adding to the list below:
CD1: 2/3
CD2: 2/3? (Could be 3/3)
CD3: 3/3
CD4: 2/3
CD7: 0/3
CD8: 1/3
Thats so far 10-11 out of 18 which is over half. We are definitely giving Romney a run for his money. If we keep at it and keep getting at least this perentage everywhere else, I wouldnt think its out of the question that Paul will win without much problem; heck, with these sorts of numbers out of all the states, he even could win on the first ballot.(which by the way, Romney would never recover from and would be a national embarrasment for him)
I would love to know exact numbers so far for all the states, but I know no one wants those floating around all in one place.

[rb3b3]

According to this thread we are winning Virginia too??? Really? Could this really be right??? Ron Paul winning Virginia? What's the catch?

[Oddone]

There is no Catch. Ron Paul supporters show up, we are the party now. The Romney supporters just vote and listen to what the news tells them.

[KMX]

So sad , but so true.

[Lightweis]

CD 4 was 1/3

[sailingaway]

There are a bunch more yet to be awarded, but we are doing well so far.

[lib3rtarian]

CD 4 was 1/3

OK, I'll keep it 1/3 for now.

Why is alternate info unavailable for so many of the CDs? Alternate info missing for CD04, CD09 (28-APR), and for the ones which happened today - CD01, CD03, CD07.

[alucard13mmfmj]

so i hope that delegates are not bound at the RNC =p... since we are taking 30-70% of the delegates/stealth delegates in most of the states so far

[juvanya]

There is no Catch. Ron Paul supporters show up, we are the party now. The Romney supporters just vote and listen to what the news tells them.We have to keep this going year after year. IT isnt over even after Rands second term. We must fight forever and prepare our children to do the same, so that it is easy for our grandchildren to just wave a finger and freedom will not be threatened.

[Cyberbrain]

I hope I see some of you guys at the state convention!

I was at CD9, it's 0/3 alternates.

Delegate insurrection!

Virginia is the story that got no press after the primary, gets no press now, even though Romney is losing delegate spots left and right. There have got to be alarm bells ringing at the Virginia GOP headquarters though. This state convention could be a pitched battle like Oklahoma/Maine/Colorado were.

I dont' think an email from an ex Santorum guy who now works for Romney saying Ron is actively in favor of hookers and blow will work the same way in Virginia.

[Paul Fan]

I'm pretty sure that Morton Blackwell runs the Leadership Institute. I bet lots of his graduates support Ron Paul. He should be fair and not tolerate RomneyShenanigans.

[gerryb]

where is the table for state central?

where is the table for state central?

What is "state central"? The state convention? If so, it hasn't happened yet. See post #6. If you mean something else, please clarify.

[lib3rtarian]

What is "state central"? The state convention? If so, it hasn't happened yet. See post #6. If you mean something else, please clarify.

I stumbled across this (http://www.varight.com/news/significant-ron-paul-delegate-victories-in-the-old-dominion-reshaping-of-the-virginia-gop-through-the-state-central-committee/) site which made me better understand what gerryb was saying. I think he was asking about the state central committee, which is important too. I am adding another column for SCC based on the info from that site.

However that site has added some confusion about CD08 national delegate numbers.


CD 8: 3/3 national delegates and 3/3 state central.

Did we get 3/3 delegates in CD08 or was it 1/3 as originally reported?

[lib3rtarian]

Changed CD08 from 1/3 to 3/3. Also changed CD01 RP SCC from 3/3 to 2/3. I just talked to someone from CD01 who was there and she said that the person who the RP folks voted for turned out to be a turncoat. Jeanine Lawson is the name. Keep the name in mind, CD01 folks.

[lib3rtarian]

How do you know 3 in 8th? and bah

See post #33. That said, it appears that it's 1/3 after all and not 3/3, based on new info from here (http://www.dailypaul.com/comment/2456997).

Table updated. Does anyone know the state central committee results of CD04 & CD09?

[lib3rtarian]

I was able to get the alternate info for CD03 from here (http://www.dailypaul.com/233254/the-trash-can-delegation-from-norfolk-we-were-reinstated-at-the-district-convention-where-everyone-cleaned-house). We got 3/3! Table updated with that info.

[lib3rtarian]

Table updated with additional columns.

[davegod75]

We just got 1 out 3 delegate at the 10th. 0/3 alternates. 0/3 for the SCC

There was only one RP delegate running so this it the best we could of hoped for.

[MozoVote]

Still doing great! Virginia is one of those come-from-behind stories. Some of the most interesting news has arrived from states with very low expectations. I heard last night that Paul people won several county organizations in Mississippi, for example. This is not stuff being reported in the MSM, but the groundwork for 2016 is already underway.

[eleganz]

We just got 1 out 3 delegate at the 10th. 0/3 alternates. 0/3 for the SCC

There was only one RP delegate running so this it the best we could of hoped for.

So that puts us at 1 away from winning the majority of electable delegates.

Anybody know anything about the 13 at large delegates? then there are 3 more super delegates for a grand total of 49.

I hope the OP puts those figures in as well.

[speciallyblend]

Changed CD08 from 1/3 to 3/3. Also changed CD01 RP SCC from 3/3 to 2/3. I just talked to someone from CD01 who was there and she said that the person who the RP folks voted for turned out to be a turncoat. Jeanine Lawson is the name. Keep the name in mind, CD01 folks.

we should firmly let her know we know her dirty deeds and she will be held accountable, sometimes folks need a lil fear.

[Lightweis]

I won in the 11th! 1/3

[neverseen]

I won in the 11th! 1/3

Great job and congratulations!!!

Does this put us as winning Virginia??

[parocks]

17/13 us - with CD5 left to report. I think.

[kathy88]

I won in the 11th! 1/3

Oh good for you! You deserve it! Congrats and a 'lil +rep

[sailingaway]

I won in the 11th! 1/3

congratulations!! Too bad you didn't have company there, but still....

[Warmon]

I won in the 11th! 1/3

Congratulations!!!

[FindLiberty]

Yes, yes congratulations.

And thanks MSM for telling potential opponents that RP had no chance of winning (so they slept-in instead of showing up)!

[lib3rtarian]

I won in the 11th! 1/3

Congrats. So CD11 is 1/3 delegates, 0/3 alternates and 0/3 SCC for us?

Any update on CD05?

[lib3rtarian]

Can someone clear up this confusion for me?

The Green Papers says this (http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P12/VA-R) about the VA delegates:


49 total delegates - 10 base at-large / 33 re: 11 congressional districts / 3 party / 3 bonus

The Official Call for the VA State Convention says this (http://rpv.org/sites/default/files/Official%20Call%20for%20RPV%202012%20State%20Conve ntion.pdf):


A. Electing 13 At-Large Delegates and 13 At-Large Alternate Delegates to the Republican National Convention to be held at the St. Pete Times Forum - Tampa, Florida, or its alternate site beginning on August 27, 2012;

Is it 10 or is it 13? Or is it 10 base + 3 bonus = 13 at-large? How are the 3 bonus selected? Are they voted on the same as the other 3?

[thoughtomator]

the three party delegates are superdelegates I believe

RPV will select the 10 at-large plus 3 bonus

[lib3rtarian]

the three party delegates are superdelegates I believe

RPV will select the 10 at-large plus 3 bonus

What is this "bonus" business? Why are they referred to as bonus?

I know about the superdelegates. Not asking about that.

[thoughtomator]

bonus is a reward for voting Republican generally, it's based on how strongly the state votes for President, Senators, and Congressmen.

The RNC rules are essentially like this:

Each congressional districts gets 3 delegates
Each senate district get 5 delegates.

Virginia has 11 * 3 = 33 CD delegates
2*5 = 10 at large delegates
3 automatic delegates: RNC committee woman/man/chair

Now some states get awarded bonus delegates based on how "republican" the state is. So each state with a republican governor for instance gets 3 bonus delegates and virginia voted in a republican governor in 2010, it is really up to the states on how to divide those delegates, but from what i've seen, those are usually added to the at-large slate.

Perfect. Thank you for explaining this. NC also has 3 bonus delegates listed, but we have a Democratic governor. How does that work?

[ns1000]

Well i don't have the full picture, but i guess it works on the basis of who gets elected:

Republican Governor = +3 bonus
Majority in the State Senate +3
Majority in the State House +3
Republican Senator national +3
etc.

[ns1000]

Ah, the green papers have the rules:

http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P12/R-Alloc.phtml
Bonus Delegates
President: States casting a majority of their 2008 Electoral Votes for the Republican Candidate receive 4.5 + 0.60 × the Jurisdiction's Total 2012 Electoral Vote in bonus delegates. Should the District of Columbia cast the majority of their electoral votes for the Republican Candidate, the District will receive 4.5 + (0.30 × 16) in bonus delegates. Round any fractions UP to the next whole number. [Rules 13(a)(5) and 13(a)(7)]
U.S. Senate: Award 1 bonus delegate for each Republican Senator elected in the 6 year period between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2011. Limit 2. [Rule 13(a)(6)]
Governor States electing a Republican Governor between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2011 receive 1 bonus delegate. Limit: 1. [Rule 13(a)(5)(i)]
U.S. House: States electing Republicans to 50% or more of their U.S. House seats between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2011 receive 1 bonus delegate. Limit 1. [Rule 13(a)(5)(ii)]
One Chamber: States electing a Republican majority to one chamber of the state legislature (OR the legislature is presided over by a Republican) between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2011 receive 1 bonus delegate. Limit 1. [Rule 13(a)(5)(iii)]
All Chambers: States electing a Republican majority to all chambers of the state legislature (OR all chambers are presided over by a Republican) between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2011 receive 1 bonus delegate. Limit 1. [Rule 13(a)(5)(iv)]

[lib3rtarian]

Table updated with state delegate info + CD10 info + CD11 delegate info (still missing CD11 alternate and SCC info). Also missing CD5 info.

[Kodaddy]

So we are going to need 25 delegates in total to have a majority? That's only 8 more of the at-large delegates. PUSH!

[bultza]

what's happen in cd5?

[Lightweis]

CD5 we swept the delegates

[thoughtomator]

VA-11 alternates are probably establishment, they were uncontested.

All 3 SCC seats were won by a slate supported by both the liberty and Cuccinelli (our AG, running to be next Governor) factions.

I personally made sure to congratulate all the winners and console all the losers, all while wearing a Ron Paul sticker. This district being dominated by government (& associated business) workers, our show of strength and capture of a delegate slot are IMO an amazing accomplishment. In this district our next task is to continue building bridges with other conservative factions, and to educate them that Paul supporters are not in fact an invasion, but the natural next generation of Republicans.

[bultza]

CD5 we swept the delegates
3/3 ?

[Lightweis]

3/3 ?

Yes

[lib3rtarian]

CD5 we swept the delegates

Great. What about the alternates and SCC? Did we get them too? Is that what you meant by clean sweep?

Yes

Great. What about the alternates and SCC? Did we get them too? Is that what you meant by clean sweep?

SCC is kind of complex because these people are not RON PAUL PEOPLE. They are conservatives who want conventions but they are not Ron Paul

[sailingaway]

How are delegates to the state convention picked? Is this like MA where we can't really expect any of the 13 picked by the state, or is there opportunity for participation at the state convention level as well?

These results are way beyond what I expected from Virginia, don't get me wrong.... I just don't want to start thinking it is a possible state overall win if the establishment has 16 delegates on the top (13 from state and 3 automatics)

[lib3rtarian]

SCC is kind of complex because these people are not RON PAUL PEOPLE. They are conservatives who want conventions but they are not Ron Paul

So 3/3 delegates, 0/3 SCC in CD5.

How about the alternates?

Were in the process of organizing for the state convention now. We waited until the district conventions in Virginia were over. We filed 13 delegates, 13 alternates. Commitee Women and Commitee man for the state.

[Krzysztof Lesiak]

So we won?

[Lightweis]

So 3/3 delegates, 0/3 SCC in CD5.

I do not have the precise information on the 5th. I heard it was a clean sweep Ill find out now though

[thoughtomator]

SCC is kind of complex because these people are not RON PAUL PEOPLE. They are conservatives who want conventions but they are not Ron Paul

They will be - give me some time to work on 'em ;)

If I have learned one thing from participating in the conventions it's that we can turn foes into friends by a) educating them about the important issues; b) listening to and addressing the concerns that motivate them; and c) emphasizing how much common ground we really do have with your more traditional grassroots conservative.

One of the most common concerns I heard was ballot integrity. I'd say we share that one too, eh? Before the convention started I had already initiated conversations as to how we could help, so I am well-positioned to follow up and keep the liberty message in the conversation.

[RonRules]

Great job Virginia.

We finally have revenge for this horrible chart:

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj80/RonRules/Elections2012_Primaries_VA/bzquF.jpg

Ron Paul actually had won Virginia's popular vote by a small margin.

Apparently all registered republicans can become delegates at the state convention. According to a pdf put in the thread earlier there are over 11,000 delegate seats. I doubt they usually fill all of those spots.

[thoughtomator]

They don't fill all the spots in any of the conventions. I got uncontested seats in all of them (county, CD, state) and the privilege of voting for every race for under $150 in filing fees. It's already paid itself back many times over in political influence and business connections.

[davegod75]

hmm, I was just told by someone on the dailypaul that we got 0/3 in the 5th. Where did you get your numbers?

[SchleckBros]

hmm, I was just told by someone on the dailypaul that we got 0/3 in the 5th. Where did you get your numbers?

Official site says we won 17/33 delegates, so I'm guessing that we didn't win any in CD 5.

Is this like MA where we can't really expect any of the 13 picked by the state, or is there opportunity for participation at the state convention level as well?I feel that we might get 4 or 5 at a minimum, unless we control the committee, in which case 13/13.

bump for state convention this weekend.

[parocks]

bump for state convention this weekend.

how are we doing on delegates - we're about tied maybe? What is expected this weekend?

[sailingaway]

how are we doing on delegates - we're about tied maybe? What is expected this weekend?

We need five states to nominate Ron on the floor so he gets a speech on his own strength, not as a concession, and it is unfiltered, unedited Ron Paul. So it is the number of state pluralities which means majorities pretty much as things work out. So, not counting the credentials challenges I am sure we will have everywhere, Ron so far has Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota and Nevada majorities (NV is bound partly bound for the first vote on the ballot, but the nomination is a separate vote) Iowa would be five, even not counting our 'coalition' states such as CO where Santa folks are supposed to vote for Ron. This isn't a number of delegates thing but a control of states thing.

Then with six states we can bring and second motions and open issues and policies up for debate by the body. We should have coalitions on various issues even if we don't have six states, because we have a few more states where we have a LOT and only have to sway a few people our way on an issue to control the vote of the state to second a motion.

So we can do business there for the first time since 1976.

So we want Iowa, which is also this weekend, and the establishment there is trying to undermine that majorly, so we need to be on our toes.

We did well in Virginia, but that was in the cds, a big lump are determined by the state convention, which is harder for us. We'll see. We are certainly rooting for our delegates!!

Someone at Daily Paul posted this:


The slate was just voted through. John Tate and Christopher Stearns were both chosen. based on information given by Chris Stearns relayed to me,, itll be 5 paulers and 2 conservatives. Should be a majority when this is combined with what we won at the district conventions.

If we won 7 today, then that gives us 24 out of 49. We need 25 for a majority.
