Rebelling against Romney

Hundreds of GOP delegates are in open revolt against Mitt Romney and are suing the RNC.

However, ultimately, their hatred of President Obama will outweigh their dislike of Romney.

SANTA ANA, Calif. (CN) - In a revolt against Romney, at least 40 more national convention delegates asked to join 123 previous plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the Republican National Committee, and their attorney said hundreds more may soon follow suit.

The first 123 delegates, all from the 9th Circuit, sued the RNC, its Chairman Rince Priebus, and every state party chairman in the 9th Circuit in Federal Court on Monday, demanding the right to vote for the candidate of their choice on every ballot at the Republican National Convention, including the first.

The delegates claim the party violated federal law by forcing them to sign loyalty affidavits, under threat of perjury, to vote for Mitt Romney, though he is not yet the official nominee.

They also claimed that state party chairmen are fixing elections at state conventions and changing ballots so that all votes cast count for Romney.
