What I haven’t heard in all the coverage of the delegate story is: has this sort of thing been done before, trying to install delegates at the state organization level to a candidate who did not win the delegates at the ballot box.
Maybe there’s no recent history since Republican nominees were assumed to be the winner of the primaries after competitors had no path to winning the required number of delegates at ballot box.
Whatever it’s called, it is an attempt to thwart the will of the voters after the fact.
The will of the voters is on the first ballot. After that, all else is up for grabs. If no delegate were able to be convinced to change there vote, the convention would never get a majority nominee.
