During a recent government meeting, the roll call of states was conducted as part of the convention proceedings, adhering to rule 37 of the convention rules. The secretary of the convention, Vicki Drummond, oversaw the process, which required each state delegation to announce their votes for the presidential candidate.
The roll call began with Iowa, which cast all 40 of its votes for Donald J. Trump. Following Iowa, Nevada announced its support, casting all 26 votes for Trump as well. Oklahoma's delegation, led by Republican Party Chairman Nathan Dahm, proudly declared all 43 votes for Trump, highlighting the state's unique distinction of having all counties vote for him in the last two elections.
West Virginia's delegation, represented by Patrick Morrissey, also pledged their 32 votes to Trump, emphasizing their commitment to the former president. New Hampshire's Corey Lewandowski, who previously served as Trump's campaign manager, was poised to announce the state's votes, continuing the trend of overwhelming support for Trump among the delegations present.
The meeting underscored the importance of maintaining order during the roll call, as the secretary noted that accurate recording of votes is crucial for the integrity of the process. The official results will be based solely on the announcements made by the secretary, reinforcing the structured nature of the convention proceedings.
