Allie was a district-level delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention from Massachusetts. Allie was one of 22 delegates from Massachusetts bound by state party rules to support Donald Trump at the national convention.[7] As of July 13, 2016, Trump had approximately 1,542 delegates.

Delegate rules
District-level delegates from Massachusetts were elected at congressional district caucuses, while at-large delegates were elected by the Massachusetts Republican State Committee. At-large delegate candidates were required to "express a commitment to a qualifying Presidential candidate" prior to their election as delegates. Massachusetts delegates stipulated bound to the candidate to whom they pledged their support through the first round of voting at the national convention. State party bylaws in 2016 stipulated that if a presidential candidate "dies, withdraws, or changes his party registration" prior to the convention, his or her delegates "shall go to the convention unpledged."
