THE HILL: "Cruz could gain 10 more delegates than Trump from Louisiana".
The Hill ^ | September 25, 2016 | Jessie Hellmann

Donald Trump won Louisiana by 3.5% , but is losing the delegate battle. Simply; more Cruz people made it to the County/State conventions than Trump.

All the primaries will do is allow, if delegates are awarded proportionately, is give the percentage winner the OPPORTUNITY to get more of his voters to become delegates than the other guy. This is done by hard work in advance to make sure you max out with the delegates who will vote FOR YOU. In most conventions there are open seats left available. In this case more Cruz voters made it to Convention to vote for Cruz. They,also, can now control the Rules Committee and determine how the convention will be run. I understand that Louisiana allows late delegate registration, some people need to move now!

According to The Hill: "Cruz supporters have scooped up five of 6 positions on the Republican Convention rule-writing committee" The Wall-Street Journal reported.

This is the reason that National Conventions are often decided before the opening the opening gavel falls.The Primary vote is only when the real work begins.

BS. It’s called playing by the rules. Surely a Trump supporter must admire a guy who uses the rules to his advantage. RIGHT?

Oh well do much for democracy. Grew up thinking “one man, one vote” but apparently that’s a joke. And we have the audacity to want to impose our democracy on other countries. Wish we could just do the ‘purple finger’ vote thingy.

It will take a lot more than 10 delegates for Cruz to catch up.

A lot of us didn’t understand the delegate process until recently.

Slime-ball Trump has no chance of getting 1237 anyway.

Donny spent $$ millions and got nothing but boxes of ugly red caps.

I would say Cruz’s campaign is in a tail spin right now.

Word on the street is this is only an appetizer...

Supposedly major info about this coming out this Monday.

The best thing Cruz can do now is if not true deny it and file a law suit.

However, if he Dances, then Cruz is going to look guilty.

All of Cruz/s activities must be reported....the little scumbag will do anything to win. As in Iowa, Texas, Utah, etc.

TRUMP BALLOT SECURITY PROJECT
Committee to Restore America’s Greatness PAC
FR Posted 3/19/16 by Albion Wilde

The Trump Ballot Security Project (TBSP) was formed when the main stream media reported dozens of voting irregularities in the Texas Republican primary. This ultimately totaled over 600 reports in at least six counties including Dallas County and Travis County. In virtually every case votes cast for Donald J. Trump were tallied for Senator Marco Rubio.

(NOTE:CRUZ IS STEALING DELEGATES LEFT AND RIGHT)
<><> the Iowa fiasco where Cruz stole Ben Carson/s delegates by lying saying Carson was dropping out, telling supporters to caucus w/ Cruz.
<><> Even though @realDonaldTrump won delegates in Texas the @TedCruz- @georgepbush #RickPerry cabal is refusing to slate Trump supporters.)
<><> In Utah w/ Beck and Romney running the show, the Cruz team emailed supporters the day of the caucus, telling them they can vote absentee that day. This is in violation of state law.

===========================================

The TBSP established a Toll Free number to collect further reports of voter irregularities.

Almost immediately there were over 300 complaints from Oklahoma. Only a week later the Kansas and Maine Caucuses brought hundreds of more complaints including claims of double voting by supporters of Sen. Ted Cruz.

Now we are focused on Arizona, Utah, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and California. To the extent possible, we are attempting to place trained poll watchers in those counties with a recent history of voter fraud.

The Trump Ballot Security Project is committed to investigating all complaints of voter fraud. In the event a pattern can be determined, the seating of these delegations can and will be challenged before the Credentials committee of the Republican National Convention.

We have dispatched lawyers and election law experts to all of the states mentioned above to investigate and document voter fraud. NOTE The Trump campaign is not currently devoting resources to this important function.

TBSP is a project of the Committee To Restore America's Greatness
CONTACT 1-855-245-4634 TO REPORT IRREGULARITIES OR VOTER FRAUD.

Cruz won the most delegates in the Louisiana Caucus held the Saturday before the Louisiana primary. Any registered Republican in Louisiana could have voted for delegates at the caucus. Sounds like Trump didn’t get his people out. There was no lying, cheating or stealing.

The average voter expects to spend maybe a half hour of his life in the political process. He hasn’t as clue about how the machinery actually works. This the the famous ground game at work. Obama outworked the Republicans in Ohio.

We are not now and have never been a democracy. The founding fathers, rightly, equated democracy with mob rule.

Outstanding work your doing! I know its late, but if your network could,also, file for open delegate seats in their County and State, you have a great opportunity to control the committees at the National Convention. Being a national network your already communicating the most highly motivated people at the right time. Ask them to attend and or register for the open delegate seats at their County level.

Thanks for the important work your already doing. Please give the delegate registration by your people serious consideration. They can make a lot of difference.
