Trump lost 2 delegates because of foreign names

Donald Trump, currently the Republican frontrunner after creaming Marco Rubio in Florida yesterday as well as taking Illinois and Missouri, lost two delegates in Illinois because many voters declined voting for a Trump delegate because they had a foreign sounding name.

In Illinois’s 6th District, Trump delegate Nabi Fakroddin received nearly 5,000 fewer votes than his other two delegates named Paul Minch and Barbara Kois.

Similarly, another district gave 7,000 less votes to Raja Sadiq than Doug Hartmann.

Trump has made inflammatory statements against foreigners, from Mexican immigrants to Muslim citizens.
