From the linked article:
“Georgia is allotted 76 delegates for the Republican National Convention, which ultimately picks the GOP presidential candidate. Those delegates are bound to Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum based on the results of the state’s March 6 primary.

But even though Paul won no bound delegates in Georgia, his backers are still trying to win his supporters seats at the convention,”
********************************************************

So the Paulbots (who apparently stacked the meeting) are trying to have THEIR will supercede the will of the voters in the Primary. I understand why the local GOP successfully moved to neutralize the attempts of the Paulbot/LaRoche types (you know, if you can’t win at the ballot box, then win by subterfuge).

Keep reading :

'For if none of the four presidential candidates can win enough delegates to secure the nomination in the RNC’s first two ballots, Georgia’s delegates are then unbound from Gingrich and the other candidates, meaning they could then vote for Paul.'

That also means, if Romney doesn't get the victory on the first two rounds, Santorum or Newt could pick up the win. What the Paul acolytes are doing is perfectly legal in the GOP rules.
