Note 2: This report is based on preliminary counts for the 30 November delegate allocation deadline, including memberships that were postmarked in November but received by the national office in the first few days of December. According to Nick Dunbar, a small additional number of November-postmarked memberships have arrived in the last few days, but not enough to have any effect on which states qualify to name members of convention committees.
