Leading officials in the Republican National Committee reportedly met Tuesday afternoon to discuss the semantics of a contested convention, Politico reported.

More than two dozen “veteran GOP operatives” attended the meeting in Washington, where officials argued that there was time to lobby between ballots at the GOP convention, according to unnamed operatives who spoke to Politico.

The meeting came before the primary in Wisconsin where Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was projected to win Tuesday night.
