**NEVADA** State Convention updates here

[Danan]

Guests usually are allowed, but they are most definitely not allowed to participate in voice votes.

With 1700 people in a room how could you tell who shouted what?

Convention goers. You have every right to stand at the door with a clipboard and tally the delegates, id's, Romeny or Paul etc. Good to have the data. Assign a few people to do this. IMO.

This

Send some of our people to every Kinkos and copy shop in the area. Then videotape and bust Romney people making fake delegate credentials.

and this

We should phone Ron Paul alternates to show up and attend, since this is obviously no problem for the Romney guys. If they would just stand around and vote anyway like the guests and Romney-late comers - how could they tell who is who?

 

[Carson]

People are saying no motion to break for lunch so it isn't official. Ron Paul people don't leave!

 

[TruePatriot44]

Nevada has always been corrupt.

 

[Gray Fullbuster]

That's the problem.

The guests and the elected delegates are indistinguishable from each other in the room.

They have taken a break for lunch.

Upon returning, only those with delegate badges will be seated. The rest will be separated but still allowed to watch - but not participate.

What will stop them from taking part in voice votes?

 

[RDM]

If they break for lunch, what they need is a master list of those registered delegates. Upon return, they need to cross check those entering against the master list and not rely solely on badges. GD, this is not rocket science.

Back under control? I dunno....

#nvgop: mori nrecesses for lunch saying ron Paul speech will happen on schedule after and delegates will show badges to enter.

 

[Adrock]

Just have an accurate count of every person that comes back in. If there is over the original 1100, then call shenanigans.

 

[Occam's Banana]

What. A. Fustercluck.

 

[EvilNight]

As I understand it, the sergeant at arms will be watching the guests, and if any attempt to participate in voice voting they will be escorted from the premises.

 

[Indy Vidual]

Maybe some of Mittens people will get tired and not come back.

 

[Student Of Paulism]

Its no surprise these things are going to happen, it pretty much has at nearly every other delegate caucus thats gone on. I dont get all this 'standing up and sitting down' and this 'voice vote' nonsense. Whatever happened to pen and paper and ballots or some kind of way that a physical trail is left?

Like what's gonna be next, rubbing your tummy in circles while standing on your head and balancing a glass of water to vote?

 

[Danan]

There is no way they don't have a list of names of delegates who joined the convention in time. The preliminary report exists - or how could the know the number. This report has to have names on it, hasn't it?

Or did they "lose" it by accident? C'mon.

[RDM]

Maybe some of Mittens people will get tired and not come back.

...or not want to cancel their afternoon Country Club Tee times.

 

[teacherone]

executive summary?

 

[PatriotOne]

executive summary?

chaos.

 

[Danan]

I understand that the ultimate rules are put in place at the convention. But there have to be existing rules on who the people are who vote on those new rules...

And if its true that only the delegates from the preliminary report are eligible to vote, then how in the world can they not know who those people are? That's just insane.

Hopefully all the spammers who have come to the NVGOP twitter feed will be gone by the time the convention starts up after luhch. It was a hot feed and they swarmed it.
