Despite reports that Louisiana’s 10 uncommitted delegates will likely vote for Ted Cruz on the first ballot at the Republican convention in Cleveland, four of the five delegates previously assigned to Marco Rubio have come out with a joint statement declaring they are undecided about who they will vote for this summer.

The statement, signed by Louisiana delegates Stephanie Berault, Kirk Williamson, Luke Letlow and Leslie Tassin, all of whom were allocated to represent Marco Rubio at the convention, unequivocally says they are now uncommitted and have not decided how they will vote.

“We reserve the right to support another candidate in the future but at this time feel it necessary to remain strictly uncommitted out of obligation to our candidate of choice and our voters,” the four delegates write. “Any reporting of our intention to support one active candidate over another is simply not accurate.”

The statement comes after Donald Trump threatened to sue Louisiana if he ended up with fewer delegates from the state than Cruz. Although Trump won the Louisiana primary, he and Cruz both received 18 delegates. Rubio received five, and another five were deemed uncommitted as a result of the allocation process.
