Still nothing. DDHQ haven't been sitting on their laurels either.

Looks like 3 uncommitted (John Yob, Erica Yob, and April Newland), two for Cruz (Joshua Schanfarber and Robert Schanfarber), and one for Trump (Steven Hardy).

What is the Yob family endgame? Seems like dirty tricks.

Sounds like it to me too.

More evidence that having the territories vote is an absolutely terrible idea.

More evidence that conventions/caucuses are a terrible idea. Just let the territories (everyone else) vote in regular damn primaries.

Got off the phone with the Virgin Islands GOP: *ALL* elected delegates were uncommitted. No presidential candidate won a delegate.

...

My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw the Virgin Islands forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.

Raw votes by candidate's delegates:

Uncommitted 1,063 (65.3%)
Cruz 191 (11.7%)
Rubio 161 (9.9%)
Carson 108 (6.6%)
Trump 104 (6.4%)

I'm not sure how realisticidealist calculated his alternative slate numbers.  But Cruz (6) and Carson (10) had more delegates than the other two (3 each), so the per-delegate percentage for them is much lower.

1627 total votes means that anywhere from 272 (1627 divided by 6 and rounded up) to 1627 people voted.

So if the first ballot is extremely close, a couple of nobodies from the Virgin Islands could provide the tiebreak and decide if the contention is contested or not?

Coupled with a bunch of nobodies from American Samoa, probably Guam and North Dakota plus 5 from Louisiana and any other state that provides for unpledged delegates, whether that be initially or after a losing candidate releases them.

I think Colorado and Wyoming have unbound delegates as well. (Wiki seems to disagree?)
