"In the days leading up to the Republican Party of Louisiana's state convention in June, an affidavit and supplemental rules were distributed to participants. The affidavit required the signature of delegates selected to go to the national convention to vote for the candidate they were bound to by the State Central Committee.

Paul's supporters refused to sign the affidavit because it gave the power to the state executive committee to replace unallocated delegates.

Instead, they had their own vote at the state convention in protest of the party's rules."

it was a lot more than that, it changed quorum to 1/3 it made their guy permenant chair and unchallengable, it basically said they could pick the delegates. But the new rules were never ratified and the rules guy was voted OUT by the majority of the rules committee (we had the majority on every committee as well as in convention)
