The two at-large delegates awarded Tuesday in the Michigan Republican Presidential Primary were supposed to be split proportionately by Party rules, that is (given the results), one for Romney and one for Santorum. Given that each candidate also won seven Congressional Districts, that made the overall split 15 to 15 — a tie in delegate terms. And that is what all the media sources reported the next morning.
But an MRP committee voted Thursday to award both at-large delegates to Romney instead, giving him a 16 to 14 advantage in the state’s delegates to the Republican National Convention.
