It is still going on, I was one of the first RP delegates called into the "interrogation room". I was escorted upstairs and waited in the hall with another challenged delegate. I wanted this other person to be in the room with me for support, but they would not let him in. The one lady actually physically pushed him out of the doorway and closed the door in his face. He specifically asked if he was being refused entry and he was.
There were up to eleven credential committee persons seated along a row of desks. I was asked to sit in a single chair in front of them just as if I was being interrogated and was told I would have five minutes of their time.
I asked for documentation on why I was being challenged, who submitted the challenge, and proof that the challenge was submitted by the imposed deadline.
They refused to tell me who the challenger was! They stated that the challenge was made by the deadline but refused to give me any verification documentation. And as far as why I was being challenged, they would only say that I was being challenged as to whether I was a "good Republican". They said that I seemed to not have participated in the party in the past. I gave them written proof that I was a REPUBLICAN election judge at the February primary and that I was scheduled to be one in August too. That did not seem to be a good enough response from them.
They asked if I would vote for McCain at the convention and I responded that I would vote for whoever I was required to vote for at that time. In Missouri, you are bound to vote for the primary winner (McCain) in the first vote UNLESS that rule is over turned. They asked me in another way and I responded with the same answer.
They also asked if I supported a brokered convention. I answered "Supported? What does that mean? Everyone is allowed to vote." At that time the five minutes were up and I was escorted out the door with no feedback on the interrogation whatsoever.
We had a parliamentarian there for support and she was also refused entry into the room with any challenged delegates.
It was overall a very unpleasant experience and a total waste of time. It's not going to make one bit of difference what anyone says in these meetings, I do not believe it will change any of their minds. But if we didn't go, they would use that against us.
