2016 Republican National Convention Roll Call Vote
Tuesday, July 19
Much can happen between when delegates
are allocated in primary and caucus processes and the roll call vote at
the National Convention. Primary and caucus voting is only one
step; the nitty gritty of delegate selection occurs at district
conventions and state conventions. In the weeks and months
following voting, unsuccessful candidates suspend their campaign; they
may choose to keep their delegates, but there are also state and
national party and convention rules. This is illustrated by the
first-in-the-nation states of Iowa and New Hampshire. All 30 of
Iowa's votes went for Trump, while the New Hampshire vote reflected the
results of the Feb. 9 primary.
When the roll call arrives at a state, cameras gather and members of the delegation crowd in close to the mic to get in the shot. The person selected as spokesperson touts the state's attributes and then delivers the tally.
There were four delegations—Alaska, DC, Nevada and Utah*—where the delegation spokesperson read one tally and the convention secretary reported a different tally, a somewhat awkward situation. This occurred because the tally is done "pursuant to the announcement of the delegation and the rules of this convention." Members of those delegations were not happy (+). Alaska challenged the misrecording of its vote (announced as 11 Trump, 12 Cruz, 5 Rubio and reported as 28 Trump). The delegation was polled, but the same result was reported. RNC Chairman Reince Priebus explained that the issue was rule affecting only about four states (16f filing, where if a candidate drops out, the bound vote gets reallocated to the candidate(s) running).
