CLEVELAND — The fight to release bound state delegates from the results of their state primary is not over yet. Delegates Unbound, an organization, whose mission is to unbind these delegates, hinted to reporters late Tuesday after noon via text message, “Big thing happening in the arena later. We’ll see you there.”
The cryptic message comes on the day Donald Trump expects to be nominated through a roll call vote of all 56 delegations from the convention floor of the Quicken Loans Arena.
“As has been our goal all along, we want delegates to simply follow their conscience on the floor tonight,” said M. Dane Waters, co-founder of Delegates Unbound in an e-mail statement.
The Daily Caller has learned that some bound delegates may cast their vote for a candidate other than the individual who they are bounded to vote for on the first ballot.
Additionally, TheDC spoke with a Texas delegate who said he is privy to “concerning a select few people walking around” that a delegate-walk out may happen during a floor vote on a specific issue, but the plans to do so, the delegate said, keep falling through.
Some GOP delegates became angry on Monday night when a motion to call a roll call vote to decide whether to adopt the convention committee rules, which may have led to the unbinding of delegates, was crushed.
