Republican leaders consider rewriting convention rules:
The new rules would throw more power to the individual delegates and away from a powerful convention chair.

At this point, is it possible that part of the RNC stretches into the next week and overlaps with the DNC?

Hotel reservations would get to be a problem, among many other things.

Closed Primary
37 District
12 At-Large
6 PLEO At-Large
5 Superdelegates

Details

Groups of 12 and 6 delegates are apportioned based on the statewide primary vote.  The CD delegates are apportioned among the CDs as follows: 9 in CD 3; 7 in CD 6; 6 in CDs 2,4; 5 in CD 1; 4 in CD 5.

Oregon (D)

Overview
74 Delegates (1.55% of total)
Closed Primary
41 District
13 At-Large
7 PLEO At-Large
13 Superdelegates

Details

Groups of 13 and 7 delegates are apportioned based on the statewide primary vote.  The CD delegates are apportioned among the CDs as follows: 11 in CD 3; 9 in CD 1; 8 in CD 4; 7 in CD 4.  The 2nd Congressional District, due to its large size, is split into two halves, each with 3 delegates each.  One half contains the counties of Harney, Jackson, Klamath, Lake, Malheur, and that portion of Josephine within the district; the remainder is in the other half.  Since this divides an even-delegate district into two odd-delegate districts, it favors the winner in the event of a narrow (50-58.3%) win.

Superdelegates

Clinton (6): Sen. Ron Wyden, Rep. Earl Blumenauer, Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, Rep. Kurt Schrader, Ellen Rosenblum, Gov. Kate Brown

Sanders (1): Sen. Jeff Merkley

Unknown Delegates

In my continuing effort to find out the identities of all the delegates, some are beginning to slip through the cracks.  If anyone has any leads on the delegates chosen in the following jurisdictions, it'd be much appreciated:

Oklahoma's 4th CD (3 delegates)
Florida: CDs 5-10, 15-18, 20-22 (39 delegates)
North Carolina: CDs 1,2,3,4,7,8,9,13 (24 delegates)
Indiana: All CDs 1-9 (27 delegates).

Potentially, some of Idaho's delegates have been selected by the campaigns as well, though I'm unsure about this.

I'm keeping a running list of these going in the "Unknown Delegates" tab on my spreadsheet; this list may grow or shrink as time goes on.

Merry Christmas Erc.

Can't say I disagree with anything there.

The specter of Trump not even getting on the first ballot due to Rule 40 shenanigans seems slim, especially if he does well on April 26.

The district delegates vote at some point, and the At-Large delegates are allocated proportionally on the basis of that vote.  Washington and North Dakota use the same system.

Four out of five of Rubio's delegates say that they are firmly Uncommitted; the fifth, Stephanie Berault, seems to lean Cruz.

So Erc, now that a new batch of Rubio delegates are being declared free agents on the first ballot, what's the latest estimate of the total number of delegates at the convention who are likely to be unpledged on the first ballot?

I'd already declared most of these guys unpledged; in fact, my number's gone down lately on a more careful reading of the Alaska GOP press release that gave Rubio his delegates back in Alaska.

My current number is 181; note that this includes Kasich's 12 delegates in New Hampshire and Vermont.

Of those 181: Cruz 29 - Kasich 6 - Trump 3 - Uncommitted 143.

The number should be pretty set in stone after Wyoming's convention tomorrow.  The only way this changes afterwards is if someone actively releases their delegates, or there's a surprise rules change or rule reinterpretation.  (Ohio suddenly deciding that delegates are released if Kasich doesn't make it onto the first ballot, for example...though this obviously seems quite unlikely).

Note that this number is counting the Yobs as the delegation out of the Virgin Islands (or more appropriately, treating the slate as undetermined); if you go with the sham Canegata slate, the number goes down to 177 (I believe Rubio's delegates would still be bound to him).

OK, so sounds like we're looking at about 7% of all the delegates being free agents on the first ballot.

District of Columbia (D): June 14

Overview
46 Delegates (0.97% of total)
Closed Primary
13 by District
5 At-Large
2 Pledged PLEO
26 Superdelegates

Details

The district delegates are allocated based on the vote in each "Municipal District."  The first, consisting of Wards 1,2,6,8, has 7 delegates; the second, consisting of Wards 3,4,5,7, has 6 delegates.  The 5 At-Large and 2 Pledged PLEO delegates are allocated based on the vote in the entirety of the District of Columbia.

Superdelegates

Clinton (20): Mayor Muriel Bowser, Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, Minyon Moore, Carrie Pugh, Jeff Berman, Harold Ickes, Lee Saunders, Maria Cardona, Lily Eskelsen Garcia, Steve Regenstreif, James Boland, Sunita Leeds, Anita Bonds, MaryEva Candon, Arlington Dixon, Earl Fowlkes, Karl Racine, Mary Beth Cahill, Marcus Mason, Rick Wade

Sanders (2): Larry Cohen, James J Zogby

Other (4): Shad. Sen. Paul Strauss, Shad. Sen. Michael Brown, Ed Potillo, DNC Vice Chair Donna Brazile

Note that Michael Brown is apparently still a superdelegate despite sources that list him as a registered independent.

The Green Papers: DC
DC Delegate Selection Plan

Unassigned (D)

Overview
2 Delegates (0.04% of total)
No Vote Held
2 Superdelegates

Details

The two delegates listed here are rather ex officio DNC seats, not tied to any particular state, that are currently vacant.  They correspond to the Vice Presidency of the College Democrats of America (vacant since the former VP, Marv McMoore, took the Presidency upon Nastasha McKenzie's resignation in September) and a DNC Vice Chair (vacant since Rep. Tulsi Gabbard's resignation from that post in February).

Additionally, three delegate positions are reserved for three officers of the DNC who are not otherwise DNC members.  The Chairperson, the five Vice Chairpersons, the National Finance Chair, the Treasurer, and the Secretary of the DNC are already DNC members by virtue of their position, so these are some of the "other appropriate officers" created by Article III Section 1(e) of the Charter of the Democratic Party.  However, in each of the last four conventions (2000-2012), none of these slots were filled, and all DNC publications in the last year suggest that they will also not be filled this year, as well.  As a result, I'm not including these three delegates in my count.

Politico has a good piece on the crazy rules in West Virginia.

Due to the requirement that no more than two delegates per CD can come from the same county, it seems likely that around six of Trump's delegates that would otherwise be elected will be disqualified.

Perhaps Trump winning 28 rather than 34 delegates out of West Virginia seems like the more likely outcome.
