With two days until the deadline for registering for the Feb. 5 presidential convention, 516 West Virginia Republicans have signed up for the 1,446 delegate seats, according to the latest roster posted online.
Of the 930 unfilled slots, 576 are for legislators and county and state executive committee members who get automatic berths. The remaining 354 empty spots are for at-large delegates.
Here's the latest breakdown:
Among other interesting tidbits:
- Thompson has the most legislator-delegates (11);
- Giuliani has the most state executive committee officers (3);
- Romney has the most county chairs (4);
- Paul has the most at-large delegates (59);
- Two counties, Fayette and Summers, have filled their delegations;
- Fayette and two other counties, Kanawha and Pleasants, now have enough candidates for at-large delegate for contested elections slated for January;
- By my count, 38 county GOP chairs have not yet signed up for their automatic spots at delegates (via the state executive committee);
- Nine counties have yet to see any of its Republicans file to become delegates.
