Presidential primary day in New York
ALBANY (AP) - Mitt Romney has a chance to substantially boost his delegate tally when New York Republicans vote in the state’s presidential primary Tuesday.
New York has 95 delegates, the most of any of the five East Coast states holding primaries Tuesday. Romney is looking to add to his wide lead over Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul in the nomination race for the 1,144 delegates. Romney’s closest competitor, Rick Santorum, has stopped campaigning.
Polls have shown Romney with a commanding lead in New York, which doles out its delegates proportionately.
While New York Republicans had once hoped to play a major role in the primary race, those hopes faded as Romney solidified his front-runner status and began focusing more on the general election against President Barack Obama.
Romney did not even make a public campaign stop in this heavily Democratic state in the run-up to the primary. Gingrich spoke to a rally in Buffalo last week, and Paul appeared at Cornell University.
A candidate who wins more than half the vote Tuesday would get the state’s 34 at-large Republican delegates. If no candidate gets a majority vote, they’re doled out proportionately. Also in play are two delegates from each of New York’s current 29 congressional districts, which will go to the winner of the districts.
