Georgia Republicans To Pick Delegates For GOP Convention
Primary Content
Georgia Republicans will pick more than half of their delegates to the 2016 Republican National Convention Saturday when the party holds congressional district conventions around the state.
Each of Georgia's 14 congressional districts will send three delegates and three alternates to the GOP convention in Cleveland this summer.
In total, the state has 76 delegates to offer: 42 congressional district delegates, 31 at-large delegates, who represent the entire state, and three delegates who represent the Republican National Committee in Georgia.
Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are aggressively courting those delegates leading up to the convention.
Trump scored a decisive victory in the state's March primary, winning 38 percent of the vote and 42 delegates. Cruz came in third after Marco Rubio, winning 23 percent of the vote and 18 delegates.
But the Georgia Republican party only binds delegates for one ballot at the national convention, which means Trump could lose his pledged delegates after the first round of voting.
State Republicans will select Georgia’s 31 at-large delegates in June.
