Gore won the popular vote by half a million nation wide, and the Supreme Court ordered a stop to the recount in Florida, which allowed Jeb to award his baby brother the electoral votes required to win.
Popular vote is not how elections are won in this country.
You asked what happens. If Trump gets less than 50% he will not be awarded a lot of delegates he needs to make his math work. If he gets more than 50% he will be able to get the additional delegates that are awarded for reaching the 50% requirement.
Not a double standard, an answer based on your question and the NY rule for awarding delegates.
As evidenced by their well organized attempts in many states to suppress voting, the GOP fears the public and wants to minimize turnout. And well they should. They know that going forward, their foolish embrace of the smugly ignorant religious right will cost them elections. And they're too far gone to regain rationality at this point.
With record turnout in some cases, I'm not seeing any suppression of voting in any state thus far. You do realize that in Colorado, it was not a primary? It was not an attempt to suppress voting. Their delegate selection process has been in place for quite awhile, and wasn't just drummed up to tick off trump. If those people who are members of the republican party in Colorado didn't like how it worked, they would have changed it long before now.
Political savvy is needed to do well in the primary season, and a candidate who understands that is in a better position to win than one who doesn't. Whining and calling it crooked
is certainly not putting trump in a good light down the road for further primaries and the convention. It also reflects a significant failure to understand and act within the rules - something trump just can't seem to grasp.
trump's own children forgot to change their voter registration to republican before the recent deadline
Okay, I just learned that the people didn't vote in Colorado. Cruz won that state with establishment insiders, not voters. Pretty unreal, but it has been a pattern throughout this campaign.
I realize why Trump didn't campaign there; the establishment would never go for him and his policies (which goes against their interests). It's not some big win for Cruz, the fix was in from the beginning. The establishment-backed candidate has the advantage, not an outsider.
I would like to see some changes to the party's voting process if we can get some honest people running the country for a change.
They concede that Lindsey was indeed duly elected as a delegate at his precinct caucus. But in his county, precinct caucuses don’t elect delegates to the state convention; they elect delegates to the county caucus. That’s the one Lindsey was supposed to attend. It’s the county caucus that elects the delegates to the state convention, and then the state convention elects delegates to the national convention in July. According to state party officials, Lindsey apparently never showed up at the county caucus so he couldn’t have been elected to the state convention.
The mogul’s business career is a stream of “win, win, win” braggadocio interrupted by lots of huge losses resulting from huge miscalculations. Don’t expect his political career to turn out differently.

Apparently Trump delegates are as dense as his campaign staff
