Regardless of the motive - this is probably an appropriate ruling - as far as a state statute requiring delegates of a political party, which is a private organization, to behave in a certain manner in their own convention. The party has the jurisdiction to set its own rules on how delegates are distributed, which already would set how the delegates must be pledged in the primary. The party rules would also have to be changed in order to allow them just to do whatever they want.

Then it’s shady if not outright fraud to claim a candidate won the state, but it’s only a win for that day. Publisher’s Clearinghouse has more integrity. The political parties may be private organizations, but they are deeply intertwined with our government. If they want to make crap up as they go, then they should not be allowed access to any government office or given special favors. They can be just like a feckless book club, or like PCH, schlocking overpriced Chinese crap.
