Normally delegate counts aren't discussed much during the primaries. However, this year many expect several candidates to win delegates on Super Tuesday with none receiving the majority needed to win the Republican nomination. Click here to read more about how delegates are awarded to each state. Each state determines whether the popular vote winner takes all the delegates or if the delegates are awarded based on who won each congressional district. More coming on that too . . .
