There are 90 or so delegates of the "pledged delegates" who are not by
law committed... but as far as I know it has only happened twice in
the history of modern nomination process and in each case it was only
a single vote. Almost all are sign a legally binding pledge that
continues into the second round. I think PR falls into that category
but I can't swear it that.
