GOP Lawyer Says There’s No Eight State Rule

Former RNC lawyer Ben Ginsburg said that a Republican presidential candidate “doesn’t have to accrue a majority of delegates in eight states to be considered for the nomination during a contested convention in July,” Politico reports.

Said Ginsburg: “In fact, that’s not a rule. That’s part of what’s called the temporary rules. Each convention has to pass for itself the number of states that put a candidate’s name in nomination.”
