Hey, guys. Crowd chanting u. S. A. ] im just waiting. Ey, man. Does any state wish to cast ts vote or to change its vote . Gentleman shall take place at is microphone. Mr. Chairman for what purpose does the gentleman seek recognition. To contest the vote that alaska cast as it was recorded by the secretary. It was misrecorded by the secretary. We cast 12 votes for senator ted cruz, 11 votes for donald trump and five votes for marco rubio. That was pursuant to the state of alaska rules for our party. 100 of our delegation agrees that that is the proper vote. We were never notified of anything different by the r. N. C. We were never consultant. Our National Committee or our attorney was consultant. We were never told that you were going to miscount our votes tonight. The gentleman will suspend is the gentleman requesting a poll of the delegation of alaska . Yes, im requesting a poll of the delegation of alaska and that those votes be accurately recorded in this convention. A delegate has taken exception to the correctness of the vote for the delegation from alaska. Accordingly the Convention Staff will report to the delegation to upervise the poll. [crowd chanting we want trump] that didnt work well. Ladies and gentlemen ladies and gentlemen, the chair will yield to the chairman of the Republican Committee for the purpose of explaining the rules. All right. Well, this is a rule that affects only about four states. First of all, all the states are bound by 1682 and the secretary is required to read the bound vote. And so thats why in a few states there was a difference. In this particular case, the state rules under the 16 s filing says that the candidates that are submitted under the that run in the election, if they drop out, the bound vote gets reallocated to the only candidate left thats running. So you understand . So under the rule, he is correct that that is how alaska originally voted. However, since there was only one candidate left running, the bound vote gets shifted under the safe party rule and thats why the secretary read it that way. So thats how the rules are interpreted. I hope you saw it tonight that we allowed for other votes of other candidates that were running to be read. I know that was different than tampa. And i hope that yall appreciated that. Event, ven, in any have a great night. Pursuant to rule 37 b and the chairs earlier announcement the vote for alaska should be recorded as 28 votes trump. This is delivered to the secretary but is necessary to reflect the president ial preference vote or the recollection of delegates as required under the rules.

In indiana, under mike pence, more hoosiers are working now than in any time in our 200year history. And our text sector is experiencing explosive record growth. In indiana, mike pence doesnt just cut red tape, he eliminates it.

It is exactly that type of leadership our country is lacking and exactly the type of leadership americans will send to the white house this fall with donald trump and mike pence. These two leaders are not just prepared to win. They are prepared to govern. Mike likes to say that indiana is a state that works. And tonight america is calling on him to expand that success to make america work again. Mr. Chairman mr.
