Wyoming Republican caucuses, 2008
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2008 Wyoming Republican caucuses took place on January 5, 2008, with 12 national delegates chosen by county convention delegates. A majority of the national delegates were won by former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.[1] In addition, two national delegates will be elected at the Republican State Convention on May 30-31.
Eligible voters include precinct committee chairs (one man and one woman for each of the 487 precincts, which were elected in 2006)[2] and 250 county convention delegates, elected in precinct caucuses held throughout Wyoming in December 2007 and apportioned according to Republican voters in the last congressional election.[3]
Although originally the size of the delegation was 28, RNC rules state that any states holding primary contests before February 5 shall lose half of their delegates.
