Republican Convention 2016

[Meclazine for Israel]

Excuse my ignorance of the US electoral process.

When the Republican convention is held, are the primary and caucus votes final and binding?

In other words, can the delegates who attend the convention change their vote?

If they cannot, can the Republican party simply block Donald Trump's candidacy for the Presidential nomination on character grounds.

"Not of sound mind and will bring the party of the Republicans into disrepute."

I guess i am asking how final are the results of Super Tuesday.

Thanks muon,

Looks like the answer is state dependent. But really amazed by the quality of the information on the forum.

Has anyone thought of electoral reform in the USA? You dont have to answer that.

Is there q difference between the allocation of 'pledged' delegates and super delegates as a function of party?

The parties have completely different rules about delegate allocation. There a different numbers of district and statewide delegates in the parties. The Pubs don't use superdelegates, but the Dems do.
