GOP activists look to revoke Trump's presidential nomination

Donald Trump may have formally accepted the Republican presidential nomination at last month's convention in Cleveland, but that's not stopping a group of activists from trying to strip him of his title.
Members of Free the Delegates -- the same group that led an unsuccessful movement to allow delegates to "vote their conscience" at the convention -- are now petitioning the Republican National committee to hold an emergency meeting to revoke Trump's nomination, the Washington Post first reported.
Sources familiar with the matter said they're reaching out to members of the RNC, which includes three representatives from each state and U.S. territory.
"We believe it will not be difficult to obtain the necessary signatures," said Regina Thompson, the national spokesperson for Free the Delegates 2016.
Beau Correll, a Virginia lawyer and RNC delegate, and other members of the so-called "GOP Accountability Project," signed documents, like the one below obtained by the Washington Post, calling for RNC Chairman Reince Priebus to schedule a meeting in accordance with Rule 8(b) with the intent of discussing the candidacy of the current Republican presidential nominee.
