After South Carolina and going into Florida, it is looking more and more likely that, not only with the Indiana primary be consequential, but we could be going to a brokered convention.
Isn't that all the more reason to get Krazy Krybaby Kim Krull's Krazy Konvention Delegate math thrown out? Indiana's convention is going to be a real fight to decide who to send to the national convention. Why should KKKK get to decide who goes? Why should she have that power?

With her decission she has taken the votes away from the citizens. NO. NO. NO. Her action must be reversed.
The chair's power to set districts and apportion delegates flows from Rule 9-4 and Rule 9-6.
So I guess she made each town or city a district and decided not to run the delegates at large, even though the newspaper quoted Janiec as saying that they have to beg to get delegates. This makes no sense at all, other than wanting to control the delegation.
Reading the rules King Krull may be within bounds on her process. But the intent of the rule has been violated. The rule was set in place to get Republicans to the convention not to let King Krull let the convention floor be infiltrated by Democrats.
You left out rule 9-3. Taken together I have to agree with the last commentator that yes, the Chair is within the rules in the section but, in my opinion that is not the intent of how the State Party would like to see the delegates selected.
Rule 9-3 merely sets out the procedure for determining how many delegates are alloted to a county. It does not address a method of determining how delegates are distributed within a county.
The rules specifically commit that to the discretion of the chair, subject to two limitations: 1.No more than 20 delegates from any one district.2.Review by the state committee.
Any one who sees any "intent" in those rules other than an intent to give the chair broad discretion is seeing something which isn't there. If fact, seing such an "intent" requires one to ignore the words which are written in the rules.
Perhaps those who dislike the effect of the rules should suggest a rule change to limit the chairs' discretion. Perhaps anyone who dissents from the chair's plan should be allowed to present an alternative plan. I'm sure the committee would be "delighted" at the prospect of making that determination for each and every county.
Be that as it may, here is my prediction:
Areas that she shortchanged will have MORE than the allotted delegates on the ballot. For example, I'm sure that Munster will have MORE than 4 delegates on the ballot.
Places where she placed "extra" delegates will not have enough delegates on the ballot. For example, there will not be 3 delegates on the ballot in Hanover Township.
Thus, once again, Kim Krull will look like an incompetent fool.
I am not arguing that she is within her power as written in the rules. I do not think or at least hope not that this consequense was the intent when the rules were written.
Some might think the chair to be incompetent should there not be sufficient candidates in some districts. Those same people will no doubt be infuriated when they discover how such a vacancy is filled.
The vacancy is then sold to the highest bidders of King Krull's choice. If after there are still vacancies, then there will be solicitation to sell these seats for the price that the delegates would normally pay. And after that is exhausted then the Lake GOP members money gets pulled out of the Lake GOP and given to the State GOP to cover Lake GOP cost of the difference of the 79 delegates that were allocated and what was actually used.
Many already know that the fix is in.
Now we know how she uses her power.
The chair has done, and can only do, that which the rules permit. If you don't like the rules, change them. Whining about the chair exercising power which the state party granted to the position is pointless. Assuming that the party didn't know exactly what it was doing when the rules were enacted presumes that those who enacted the rules were stupid or naive. I suggest that anyone who makes such a presumption is wrong.
