The secret is out! According to the Rules, a 2/3 majority can overturn the votes at the State Conventions. Let's do it!

I'm guessing they mean the GOPs rules for the nomination.
Where is this stated?

Robert's Rules of Order (10th Edition) Suspending or Amending the rules takes
a 2/3's vote. The relevant section is on page 600 which deals with rules
for conventions.

Erm... usually, By-laws, Party Rules or whatever they call their documents usually take precedence over RRO, not to mention that every state party's by-laws are different.

I'd read everything. You can't just read one book and claim you have known everything to be known about the proceeding.
