WASHINGTON (AP) – The Latest on the 2016 presidential campaign, with the focus Sunday on Wisconsin, which holds its primaries Tuesday (all times Eastern Daylight Time):

10:40 a.m.

There’ll be nothing “stolen” at the Republican presidential convention this summer.

Amid talk of the Republican establishment trying to block Donald Trump, the party chairman says the nomination process will be clear, open and transparent. Cameras will be there “at every step of the way.”

A fight is brewing if no candidate – front-runner Trump or rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich – has secured the necessary number of delegates during the primary contests.

GOP Chairman Reince Priebus (ryns PREE’-bus) tells ABC’s “This Week” that if the race isn’t settled, “we’re going to have a multi-ballot convention.” In each round of voting, more and more delegates are free to pick a candidate of their choice.

But Priebus is clear: “Nothing can get stolen from anyone.”
