New York offers delegate haul _ if one candidate dominates

New York Republicans have 95 delegates at stake in Tuesday's primary - a big haul if one candidate dominates. But to dominate, he will have to do well in 28 separate elections, all within the state.

This is how it works:

___

STATEWIDE

Fourteen delegates will be allocated according to the statewide vote. If a candidate gets more than 50 percent of the vote, he gets all 14. Otherwise, they are awarded proportionally among the candidates who get more than 20 percent of the vote.

___

CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS

New York has 27 congressional districts, with three delegates at stake in each (for a total of 81).

If a candidate gets more than 50 percent in a district, he gets all three delegates. Otherwise, they are awarded proportionally among the candidates who get more than 20 percent in that district.
