      RULE 19 C (2) of the STATE RULES for the Michigan Republican Presidential Delegate Selection Process:

      C. Determining the Number of Delegates and Alternate Delegates to be Committed to Each Presidential Candidate

      Except as provided in Rule 19E, National Convention delegates and alternate delegates shall be elected based on the votes casts as uncommitted or for each respective Republican presidential candidate of the Republican Party's total statewide vote at the Presidential Preference Vote. The determination of these allocations shall be made as follows:

      (1) The Republican presidential candidate (or, if applicable, uncommitted) who receives the most votes in the Presidential Preference Vote for a
      congressional district shall be allocated the three (3) National Convention delegates and three (3) National Convention alternate delegates for that
      particular congressional district.

      (2) National Convention at-large delegates and at-large alternate delegates shall be elected on a basis that insures that the proportion of the at-largeNational Convention delegation that is committed to each Republican presidential candidate equals, as nearly as is practicable, the proportion of the statewide vote that was cast for each respective presidential candidate (or, if applicable, uncommitted) at the statewide Presidential Preference Vote. The determination of these proportions shall only include the votes cast for that particular Republican presidential candidate (or, if applicable, uncommitted), if the total vote cast for that particular Republican presidential candidate (or, if applicable, uncommitted), equals at least fifteen percent (15%) of the total statewide vote cast for all Republican presidential candidates (or, if applicable, uncommitted) at the Presidential Preference Vote (hereinafter the "Threshold Vote").

      The State Party Chair shall assure that the proportion of the at-large National Convention delegation committed to a particular presidential
      candidate (or, if applicable, uncommitted) is equal to the proportion of the statewide Presidential Preference Vote. That number shall be determined
      by dividing the total statewide Presidential Preference Vote received by each presidential candidate (or, if applicable, uncommitted) by the total
      statewide Presidential Preference Vote cast for all Republican presidential candidates (or, if applicable, uncommitted), not including within the total statewide Presidential Preference Vote those votes cast for any candidate (or, if applicable, uncommitted) that did not equal or exceed the Threshold Vote. The resulting percentage for each candidate (or, if applicable, uncommitted) shall be multiplied by fourteen (14) and rounded to the
      nearest whole number (.5 and above rounds up, below .5 rounds down), which shall be the number of delegates and alternate delegates that that
      candidate (or, if applicable, uncommitted) shall receive from the at-large National Convention delegation. If as a result of rounding off to the
      nearest whole number, there are more than fourteen (14) delegate and alternate positions assigned, the number of positions shall be decreased to
      fourteen (14) by subtracting the necessary number of positions from the Republican presidential candidate (or, if applicable, uncommitted)
      receiving the fewest votes cast at the Presidential Preference Vote. If as a result of rounding off to the nearest whole number, there are less than
      fourteen (14) delegate and alternate positions assigned, the number of positions shall be increased to fourteen (14) by adding the necessary
      number of positions to the Republican presidential candidate (or, if applicable, uncommitted) receiving the most votes cast at the Presidential
      Preference Vote.
