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

What is the point to this? Trump is obviously going to win w/o faking the vote, but they fake the vote anyway https://t.co/WFckYZQH2T

Good for DC for trying, I guess. They cast their votes against Trump and the chair was like, nah. #RNCinCLE
