Although originally the size of the delegation was 28, RNC rules state that any states holding primary contests before February 5 shall lose half of their delegates.

Results

Each of the 23 counties elected either a delegate or an alternate delegate, except for Laramie County, which elected both a delegate and an alternate delegate.
