Didn’t a federal judge rule that the delegates were bound to vote for their candidate on the first vote?
No, a judge ruled in a Virginia case that the state law that could result in fine and imprisonment of delegates who did not vote the primary results could not be enforced. However, delegates are still bound by GOP rules for the convention although the crazies don’t seem to care.
