DC Republican delegates voting for Gary Johnson

Vice Chair of D.C. GOP to Resign Over Trump Nomination - The Daily Beast - Alexa Corse:

July 22, 2016 - "The vice chairman of the Washington, D.C., GOP party plans to resign from his post and vote for libertarian candidate Gary Johnson in November, the longtime Republican operative told The Daily Beast. Gary Teal, a delegate at the Republican convention, said he had already told fellow delegates that he will resign.

"'If I’m not going to vote for the nominee, then I have to resign my position,' Teal said. 'I’m prepared to do that.'

"Three additional delegates from Washington, D.C., joined Teal to announce their support for the libertarian candidate. Justin Dillon, Kris Hammond, and Peter Lee — who were wearing #NeverTrump buttons — spoke to The Daily Beast in the hallway of Quicken Loans Arena, just minutes after Donald Trump finished his keynote speech on Thursday night.
