‘What a farce!’ RNC just pulled some SERIOUSLY shady crap with the D.C. delegation

This system seems pretty rigged to me.

Un. Freaking. Believable.

After the D.C. delegation demanded a roll call vote and announced its vote allocation:

District of Columbia delegates give their votes to Rubio and Kasich. None for Trump. #RNCinCLE

The RNC decided it knew better:

The chair then CHANGES the DC vote – and makes it 19 for Trump

Convention secretary awards all 19 DC votes to Trump despite DC vote

D.C. booed as they cast 10 for Rubio and 9 for Kasich. Convention overrules and gives all 19 to Trump.

How did secretary give all DC votes to Trump?

— Philip Klein (@philipaklein) July 19, 2016

Trump got under 14% of the vote in DC, but 100% of the delegates.

Can’t let rules stand in the way of crowning the Orange Messiah, right?

WTH?!?!

So the RNC just gave Trump 19 votes he didn't win. It's a farce.

Farce is right.

DC GOP didn't elect a single delegate for Trump, but RNC rule just gave all 19 to him. GOP delegate is furious #RNCinCLE
