Why did only New Jersey lose most of its delegates because it held its primary after May 31th? New Mexico, Montana and South Dakota have their primaries too on the same day. --Minilammas (talk) 21:10, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I may be wrong, but it could have to do with the binding vs non-binding nature of the primaries. The Green Papers shows the NJ primary as binding and explains that this results in the reduction of delegates. The same source shows the other states as holding non-binding primaries. --Spiffy sperry (talk) 01:09, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's maybe it, thanks. So Montana, New Mexico and South Dakota have already bound their delegates despite holding primaries on June 4th? The RNC rules make it out that any type of electing, allocating, binding or selecting the delegates after May 31st results in the loss of most of that jurisdiction's delegates. --Minilammas (talk) 10:13, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
