Absolutely positively not true. Delegates this year were chosen the same as they were for the last three Presidential elections.
The 2012 poll in which 66,000 people voted is just that - a poll. It has nothing to do with how delegates are chosen. This is why Rick only got 6 delegates. Rick did not have a ground game in place. Delegates are awarded at the state convention - not because of some poll.
Please show me the rules that was not followed.
And you wonder why Cruz is tanking and running out of money...
Minus that straw poll... and the GOP was not so brazen to TWIT out #NEVERTRUMP after their PTA style delegate selection.
I would NOT support Trump if he used the Cruz methodology in seducing delegates... The GOP is corrupt bottom up and top down, including Cruz.
GO TRUMP!
Seducing delegates?
I already posted this link on this thread but allow me to hold your hand:

“I’m the former Chairman of the Pueblo County Republican Party and the person who developed the Slates for National Delegates for the Trump team. The Colorado GOP website was filled with errors posted about the National Delegates,” Becky Mizel told Breitbart News.
Mizel took a photograph of a ballot in Congressional District 7 that included ONLY the ballot numbers of delegate candidates, NOT the names of the candidates as required by state bylaws.
But Article Xiii of the Colorado Republican Convention bylaws (Assemblies and Conventions Section A) show that a delegate candidate must be identified alongside the name of the presidential candidate that he or she is pledged to support, so long as the delegate candidate discloses that information:
Candidates for national convention delegate need not identify the presidential candidate they are pledged to support, but may do so at their option. The ballot shall include the presidential candidate each candidate for national delegate is pledged to support, or shall indicate that the candidate for national delegate is unpledged. CRC Bylaws, Art. XIII, § A(5)(c).
Not one that rigs the outcome against Trump. The poll is non-binding.
There. Fixed it. The ballot includes more than the detached optical scan portion.
You just have to be involved. Like sex, politics is much more fun when you are active and involved and not just laying there like a bump on a log.

If you have been involved in your local party, then you know your local leaders. Your local party leaders will be reflective of the local neighborhood Republicans.
If you are so uninvolved that you do not know them, they do not know you, then I have no sympathy for you. Not in the slightest.
I’ll take the word of the Pueblo County GOP chairman over you that there were ballot irregularities.
By the way, Trump's own flyers had Becky Mizel's name misspelled.
Cruz Sweeps Colorado as Trump Campaign Issues Error-Filled Ballots
Just heads up ... Electoral College
The fact is that states can pick pretty much any system of awarding delegates that they want.
What is funny is when the same people who scream ‘State’s Rights’ the loudest and most vehemently complain when a state assigns delegates in a way unfavorable to their candidate.
The evidence of a conspiracy was the flyer a few weeks before saying they were going to deny Trump and the “accidental” gloating tweet sent out after.
The conspirators were not the smartest, but the GOPe’s OPSEC is ferociously bad. They’ve been telling us their plans every step of the way.
They? Careful now. Who is 'they'?
There was a thread. Allow me to hold your hand again.

Do you have something with substance that points to actual party officials?
