"Winner take all" states award all of their delegate votes to the winner of the primary/caucus, even if the victory is 51%/49%. Non-"winner take all" states award delegate votes in the same or similar proportion to the popular primary/caucus votes. Therefore, if the victor was able to get 75% of the popular vote, the loser still gets 25% of the delegate vote.

There are a few states that divide their populations into districts or regions. The candidate with the most votes in each district or region gets the electoral college votes assigned to that district or region. In this model, it is possible for several candidates to each win one or more electoral college votes. Nebraska has this system - there are currently three regions with one electoral college vote each; however, in practice generally all three electoral college votes are won by the same candidate.

Some states hold their primaries early in the year (e.g., Iowa and New Hampshire in February), while others hold them later in the year (e.g., New York and Massachusetts in September).
