"Donald Trump likely lost delegates in Tuesday’s Illinois Republican primary because some supporters were unwilling to vote for delegates with foreign names.
The Republican primary in Illinois works slightly different than other states. Rather than voting for candidates, primary-goers vote for a number of delegates who are pledged to candidates in their congressional district. So instead of voting for “Donald Trump,” a supporter would have to vote three times for “John Smith (Trump),” “Jack Jones (Trump),” and “Frank Miller (Trump).”
But what if one of those delegates was named, say, Nabi Fakroddin? That’s what happened in Illinois’ 6th District, where 4,000 Trump voters who supported someone named Paul Minch were unwilling to vote for Fakroddin. That allowed a John Kasich delegate to sneak into the top three."
