Correct.
Iowa state GOP rules, for example, bind delegate almost absolutely on the first ballot. When the roll call of states takes place, a representative from Iowa will report the Iowa delegate votes without asking the delegates, and regardless of whether the candidate’s name is placed in nomination. Many states have this or similar rules.

Exactly why I think all this talk about stealing other candidate delegates is either ‘click bait’ to get people to visit websites or candidates trying to keep their base excited and paying attention. In either case, this is just talk. People need to chill out.
