Look folks, let's make one thing clear.

It only requires a majority to adjourn. (unless there is some rule in the OK State GOP rules book---which I highly doubt).

Anyone who claims it requires 2/3rds really undermines their credibility.


That said, I still think they improperly adjourned b/c the vote was close and it was not counted, so it is really debatable as to whether the majority actually voted to adjourn.

the adjournment is irrelivent. delegates were never voted on the certify. so NO BUISNESS was allowed to continue but did.

2. They are not since you can not change locations without a certain amount of days leway to inform people of the location
3. Everyting from full video recording to TV crews being there reporting. If they still try ot invalidate they will have to breakk all THERE rules which would invalidate the entire state at the RNC........In Short: they won't

1) Most of them left after they unsuccessfully attempted to adjourn the convention. They failed to achieve the 2/3 supermajority necessary for adjournment, so the convention was able to continue as a quorum of delegates stayed behind.
2) There is no other convention. The so-called "rump" convention is the valid convention, conducted under the rules of the Call to Convention and with a valid quorum.
3) All this was taped, so there is indisputable evidence on this point. RNC won't be able to invalidate it.

This is the key point. An alternate convention CANNOT be held anywhere else. The convention we are watching is the one and only valid convention.

About the location, you guys say that the convention cannot be held in an alternate location without prior notice to the delegates. Isn't the parking lot an alternate location? How is it not? Couldn't RNC claim that this was an "alternate location"?

Is "rump" convention a legit term?

I am playing the Devil's Advocate here, because I want our case to be solid in this, seeing as how fubar this whole thing got. I expect this to be hotly contested by the Romney camp, RNC and OK GOP.

Suppose they do. What recourse do we have? I mean we know the RNC is following many of their own rules, why would they even acknowledge the parking lot convention?

I'd have to find a copy of the Call to Convention, but if it's like that of a previous state convention I attended, the call specifies an address. This convention is still at that address, so no, they can't claim it is at an alternate location.
