Never Trump plans last stand tonight

"During the roll call of the states, the head of each delegation will declare his or her states' vote breakdown. But delegates who are bound under convention rules to vote for Trump—but who personally oppose him—plan to register their dissent at this time using a specific parliamentary procedure."

Apparently you must use a specific phrase or be ruled out of order.

deliberately delayed the vote yesterday, to the point that forcing a counting of the vote would have pushed it into prime time, disrupting the show, but their "very great plans" were of course just steamrolled by their more powerful opponents.

Any idea what could go wrong here? Is the rules committee perchance meeting right now to rewrite that procedure?
