Many many of these people have been elected as delegates and alternates to the convention. They are suing in order to allow delegates to vote their conscience, instead of what the primaries and preferential elections said. For example, here in AZ we lost half of our delegates because Jan Brewer moved the date of our Presidential Preference election up. Apparently, the election is not legally binding, or so the RP people say. So even though Mitt Romney won by a huge margin here in AZ during our “primary” these delegates say they do not have to vote for Romney, they will vote for Ron Paul.

The will of the voters has been made clear. What right does anyone have to overturn the Primaries or the State Republican Rules and policy after the fact?

Thanks Hildy.

That could set the stage for a pretty interesting convention. I’m no huge fan of Romney (or Paul), but this sounds like it could change the entire primary process if delegates were to vote their conscience in the first round.

We surely live in interesting times.
