Unbound delegates were given the green light by Virginia Federal Court Judge Robert E. Payne to cast their votes at the Republican National Convention for any Presidential candidate they would like. This ruling is a big win for the #NeverTrump movement.
There are at least 30 delegates who hope to “thwart Trump” on the convention floor. Unrah does not have an alternative to Trump, but their goal is to vote their conscience is summed up in the letter.
“This literally is an ‘Anybody but Trump’ movement,” she told The Washington Post. “Nobody has any idea who is going to step up and be the nominee, but we’re not worried about that. We’re just doing that job to make sure that he’s not the face of our party.”
“Anybody but Trump” has a voice in Kendal Unruh, the leader of the group Free the Delegates, whose goal is to get a majority of the “112-member rules committee to support her proposal” that will allow delegates to vote their conscience at the Republican National Convention.
“If any such delegate notifies the secretary of his or her intent to cast a vote of conscience, whether personal or religious, each such delegate shall be unbound and unconstrained by these rules on any given vote, including the first ballot for the selection of the president of the United States, without the risk of challenge, sanction or retribution by the Republican National Committee (RNC),” the letter postmarked Saturday reads.
Beau Correll, Virginia Republican delegate sued the Commonwealth so that Virginia delegates could cast their votes for “the candidate of their choice on the first ballot instead of the winner of the Republican state primary, Donald Trump.”

What about what the people want. This is not right and it will not be tolerated by the American people
How is this legal when we have voted and the nominee is Trump?
Why do you think that you are seeing all these post that glorify George Dubya Bush. They are not happy, the nomination was promised to Jeb Bush.
of theybwoould win they are probably demcraps trying to keep trump out if that happens republican party dies because hillary will and we will end up in a civil war
if that is true its because the court was stacked up against trump all way to help keep trump from winning and the people will never vote for your republican asses again you will be dead you will be lucky to hold any public office again
Sad state of affairs in Virginia. Just cause your delegate isn’t the one chosen you go to this extreme. Are these people who are the ones behind those voted in office who see their back door deals being closed. Wake up and see what is happening. These are the ok I am going to take my marbles and go home people
the way this is we dont have a voice its us against the crooked politicians and cant win hillary will win and we will die as planned by obama and hillary and the crooked politicains that call themselves republicans its sad how these idiots can do this
These people are idiots. If they do anything to take this away from the Donald the Republican party is down the tubes. I will never be a Republican again. And we should go after the asses that are doing this.
Why don’t they just give up? Even if they succeed, we all are voting Trump anyway.
The delegates wouldn’t be delegates without the voters going to the poles to vote. Right? Then the delegates only job is to vote the peoples choice at the convention. Right? What do the delegates not understand about this process?
