Okay listen y'all, I'm not a big fan of my state, but Oklahoma just passed a bill for medical marijuana and I'm actually happy and proud of my state for once

my state voted to keep the minimum wage at 7.25 today. it has not changed since 2009. gas is 3.50 if you’re lucky. an hour of labor should afford you more than two gallons of gas.

Oklahoma [R]: March 1

Overview 43 Delegates (1.74% of total) Closed Primary 15 District (Proportional, 15% threshold; WTA if majority) 28 At-Large (Proportional, 15% threshold; WTA if majority) Delegate Allocation Three delegates are awarded from each of Oklahoma's five Congressional Districts.  If a candidate gets a majority of the vote in a CD (or is the only candidate to clear 15%), they receive all 3 delegates.  Otherwise, if three (or more) candidates place above 15% in a CD, the top three finishers each get one delegate.  If only two do, the winner gets two and the runner-up gets one. If a candidate receives a majority of the statewide vote, they receive all 28 At-Large delegates.  Otherwise, the delegates are awarded proportionally among all candidates receiving at least 15% of the statewide vote.  The exact manner in which this is done is not clear.  The GOP rules imply that each candidate receives delegates proportional to the share of the overall vote, rounded to the nearest delegate, à la New Hampshire; however, this would generically leave a number of delegates unassigned due to candidates not meeting the threshold. The appropriate section from the GOP rules (Rule 18(h)1):

...the award shall be as follows: based on the relationship that the number of votes received by each presidential candidate bears to the total number of votes cast in the Republican presidential primary election in the entire State; provided that a presidential candidate must receive at least 15 percent of the total vote cast in the State in the Republican presidential preference primary election in order to be entitled to any of the State at Large delegates. The Chairman of the Oklahoma Republican Party shall apportion pro rata the number of delegates from the State at large each of the presidential candidates is entitled to receive rounded to the nearest whole number.

FHQ has clarified that the delegates left over after this procedure are left Uncommitted.

Delegate Selection Delegates are chosen at District Conventions on April 16 and the State Convention on May 13-14.  This includes, crucially, the three Uncommitted delegates from the results below. Results The candidates split the CD delegates 5-5-5. At-Large, Cruz won 10 delegates, Trump 8, Rubio 7, and Uncommitted 3.   Totals: Cruz 15, Trump 13, Rubio 12. Candidate Withdrawal / Contested Convention Delegates are bound for all ballots until their candidate is "for any reason no longer a candidate."
