Question for you on challenged or disqualified delegates.

If numerous delegates are disqualified on 1st ballot...it then goes to 2nd ballot and delegates are free to choose?
Unbound??

I'm no expert, but I think that delegate challenges happen before balloting begins. If a Trump delegate here on there is challenged and removed, an alternate delegate will be slated in their place before voting begins.

The exception may be the possible removal of entire state delegations on the charge that an open primary resulted in Democrats selecting the Republican candidate. This was an idea that was floated to try to keep Trump under the threshold to face a second ballot.
