But somehow, they never turned on the Alaska delegation chair's mic, so that's the rest of the story as to how the RNC ran roughshod over the delegates, just to avoid a roll call. It is very clear that the RNC violated its own rules yesterday. From what I understand, Iowa joined Colorado in walking out.
Alaska apparently is also pissed that all of their delegates were counted for Trump. I'm not getting what was up with that ruling.
