What's up with the 43 uncommitted?

Who did they vote for or what did they do? 86.31.178.164 (talk) 02:00, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded. I could not find any reliable source mentioning those 43 uncommitted delegates. However this link [1] does have 41 votes that were cast pursuant to convention rules. Watching the video of the nomination, those delegates said things like "we cast 12 votes according to the rules". What I think happened there is that states who were not allowed to transfer votes to Trump under state laws, simply used all of their remaining delegate votes to vote for nobody at all. In other states, where vote transfers were legal, they switched votes from Haley/DeSantis to Trump. However, even this is speculation based on the numbers and not backed by a reliable source, in other words original research. I would advocate for removing the actual votes column. Kidburla (talk) 18:42, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are those 41, plus in South Dakota the person casting the votes said 28 not 29, so apparently someone abstained, and maybe there is another Abstention elsewhere I'm not sure. As far as what "a vote per the rules" means, looking at 2016, in DC it would appear to mean Trump, but in MI/VA/NC it may indeed mean Haley. DeSantis and Ramaswamy did not receive delegates after Iowa. 144.86.169.111 (talk) 15:38, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the locked down section - Fiserv Forum and other images

I went to the Fiserv today and it is like a militarized zone full of barricades, fencing and check points. Essentially all the way from the freeway there is no access by vehicle. Got as close as I could on foot but was queried about credentials everywhere. Streets and rivers were closed, lots of helicopters, police agencies, protestors. I managed to snap some images which may be usable, and I uploaded them to commons here Lightburst (talk) 23:14, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lightburst Messaged you on commons. Again, thanks for these photos and any further photos you decide to upload! SecretName101 (talk) 06:42, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pompeo

We need an up-to-date pic of him. At the convention he looked much thinner than in this photo. SFandLogicReader (talk) 17:50, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does acclamation mean 100%? I don't think so.

I think acclamation by definition is a general show of approval, so overwhelming that you don't count voters because you don't need to. But the point remains that you didn't count. How does one know that it's 100%? SFandLogicReader (talk) 19:19, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone think the 2024 platform deserves its own page?

That section needs more work. Seananony (talk) 18:04, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To answer the question, has the platform been covered by reliable secondary sources which could establish its notability? It could be another example of ephemera that serve as election-related trivia. Dimadick (talk) 21:19, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
