Donald Trump is way ahead in the polls in Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, due to its unusual delegate selection rules, Trump may not win very many delegates in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania only allocates 17 of its 71 delegates to the Republican National Convention based on the vote for President. The other 54 delegates are elected directly by the voters and are free to vote any way they choose. However, some of these candidates for delegate have stated their presidential preferences, and Vote-PA.com has compiled that data.
One complication is that Pennsylvania has draconian ballot access laws, and many pro-Trump candidates for delegate were removed from the ballot. As a result, voters in the 1st, 2nd, and 14th Districts (Philadelphia and Pittsburgh) will not have any pro-Trump delegates to vote for. In the 1st and 2nd Districts, there will at least be a candidate who promises to support the presidential candidate who wins the popular vote, which is almost certain to be Trump. In the 14th district, your only option is to write in the name of Donald Neuhaus — no one on the ballot has indicated that they will vote for Trump even if he wins the state by a landslide.
Remember, you get to vote for THREE candidates for delegate. If there are not three pro-Trump delegates, use your left over votes for candidates who will support the winner of the popular vote. If you still have left over votes, DO NOT vote for any other candidate on the ballot. They are anti-Trump. You may, however, write in names, if you like.
Please send this information IMMEDIATELY to any Trump supporter you know in Pennsylvania.
