Presidential hopeful Donald Trump has said his supporters would "riot" if he was denied the Republican nomination despite winning the popular vote.
Some Republicans have signalled that they would be open to a brokered convention, where party officials, not voters, would chose the nominee.
That would only take place if Mr Trump fell short of the 1,237 delegates needed to secure the nomination.
It is unclear if he can hit that threshold before the convention.
"I'm representing a tremendous - many, many millions of people, in many cases first-time voters," Mr Trump, the front-runner, told CNN. "If you disenfranchise those people ... I think you would have problems like you've never seen before," he said.
