Congressional District Results
[edit]I don't know how to make a table, but I used the county results to determine the Congressional District results, if anyone wants to put them in:
District 1: Romney 134,461 Obama 94,174 Johnson 2633 Terry 682 District 2: Romney 148,637 Obama 123,970 Johnson 3562 Terry 498 District 3: Romney 179,874 Obama 71,010 Johnson 4415 Terry 1167 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.19.102.40 (talk) 19:22, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

[edit]Let's verify some facts given on the Green Papers for Nebraska.

Here is a reader question — details are explained:
I'm confused. Nebraska had its primary a few days ago, so why is this not listed and why is it listed as having a caucus on June 7th? Alphius (talk) 01:26, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
- Not sure about the absence of the primary, but some states have both a primary and a caucus (such as Louisiana). Mr. Anon515 02:27, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
- The primary says Romney won; the caucuses select their delegates. See Green Papers for Nebraska schedule, [1] — Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 03:20, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
Also, click on the ninth column in our Table, 'contest', to go to Nebraska_Republican_primary,_2012 and read your answers: "The 2012 Nebraska Republican primary was a nonbinding primary that occurred on May 15, 2012.[1] This primary was purely of an advisory nature, and consisted of county conventions caucusing to elect delegates to the state convention from June 1 to June 10. The elected delegates will not be bound to vote for any candidate, but will, at the state convention on July 14, elect 32 bound National delegates. 3 party leaders will attend the National Convention unbound, making a total of 35 voting delegates going to the national convention from Nebraska." — Hope this helps, Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 03:29, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks. Alphius (talk) 04:21, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
- Actually that is not entirely correct. It was not even the start of the election process (witch is why it is not listed in the Primary Schedule, see its Legend) but can be compared with the Missouri primary. The caucuses (county conventions), that elect delegates to the state convention, will take place from June 1 to June 10. (so saying June 7 is actually a mistake, it should have and will in the future say June 10). The state convention will elect the National delegates on July 14, these delegates will be the last delegates to be both elected and allocated. So the Nebraska State Convention (July 14) marks the end of the primary process, just as the Iowa Caucuses (January 3) marks the beginning of this 194 days long process.

- Right. From the Green Papers for Nebraska: "Saturday 14 July 2012: The Nebraska State Republican Convention convenes. Congressional District Caucuses made up of the State Convention delegates from each of Nebraska's 3 congressional districts choose the 9 district National Convention delegates (3 per congressional district). The State Convention as a whole selects 23 (10 base at-large plus 13 bonus) at-large delegates to the Republican National Convention. Prospective delegates must indicate their Presidential Preference and are bound to vote for that candidate for the first 2 ballots at the National Convention."
