The Texas Tribune’s Patrick Svitek posted an excerpt of a memo from the John Kasich campaign to supporters where it’s argued that Kasich still has a shot in Pennsylvania because the state awards its delegates “proportionally by congressional district.”
That’s a great theory, governor … but it’s not true:

OMG!!! The Kasich campaign sent out a memo erroneously claiming PA awards delegates proportionally. https://t.co/XjR7fcgehm

@JWGOP is John Weaver, Kasich’s campaign manager. We’ll update this post if he ever replies:

And FWIW, Kasich is barely competing for delegates anyway:
.@kerpen @PatrickSvitek has the Kasich campaign even provided a delegate slate for PA?

Not only that, but 54 or Pennsylvania’s 71 are unbound and can vote for however they want at the convention. The other 17 delegates have to vote for the statewide winner on the first ballot:
