Cruz supporters obtained election as delegates for [[Donald Trump]], in the hope that they would be able to vote for Cruz instead on a second ballot. This deception prevented some Trump supporters from becoming delegates to the [[Republican National Convention]]. Indeed, some states have no laws preventing "pledged" delegates from voting for a different candidate on the first ballot either.

After [[Donald Trump]] was awarded a number of delegate seats in Republican primaries, Cruz supporters obtained election for those delegate seats, in the hope that they would be able to vote for Cruz instead on a second ballot. This deception prevented some Trump supporters from becoming delegates to the [[Republican National Convention]]. Indeed, some states have no laws preventing "pledged" delegates from voting for a different candidate on the first ballot either.
