Pennsylvania is once again a key state to the candidates in this next round of primary elections.
But for Republicans voting in Pennsylvania, their delegate selection may be just as important as who they choose as their candidate. There are 54 statewide Republican delegate spots and by law in Pennsylvania, delegates run uncommitted to any candidate.
Many delegate candidates have tied themselves to one of the candidates running for the Republican nomination, but it doesn't appear that anyone of them will have a majority of delegates. That would mean a contested Republican convention in July, prompting a vote among delegates to pick a nominee.
So, once again, when Republicans vote on Tuesday, the voters have to be sure they also pick delegates who will be willing to support their candidate.
