**NEVADA** State Convention updates here

[EvilNight]

We have confirmation that *there are indeed counterfeit delegate badges in play.* The chair is aware of this and it is being addressed as they verify the delegates entering the room.

Ron Paul supporter just explaining it all.

They are indeed verifying delegates now and taking steps to guarantee that only those who are on the master list will be allowed to vote. Guests will NOT be in the room at all. Press will be in the room but separated and watched to guarantee they are not participating.

All of this is apparently due to the chairman's decisions alone, so we have him to thank for restoring fairness to the assembly.

The problem is the people that REGISTERED and were CREDENTIALED after 9am. They WILL be allowed in to be seated.

I hope they are ALL NVGOP establishment peeps. We might get some good press out of this yet.

Are the credentials serialize or numbered in some way themselves ?

I would like a pic of a good credential.

^this - because it go stuck at the bottom of the last page.

Were the late comers on the master list?

Does that mean that Paul will still have over 60% of the votes? So will this take the number back down to 1100...somthing? And is this removing the 400 people that came after 9am?

 

[opinionatedfool]

Why isn't there a headline yet that says "romney caught trying to stack NV state convention"? Where is the media on this one?

Send it to Maddow. She'll put up a headline like that.

The Ron Paul supporter who was interviewed said they plan to address that with points and motions once all of the delegates are seated.

It seems as if the original 1146+alternates will vote on if newcomers are to be allowed or not.

I don't understand how they can eliminate the 419 late arrivals if they don't know who they are. I also don't understand how they know there were 419 late arrivals if they don't know what time people arrived at.

 

[Lightweis]

Whens the stream coming back??

The people handing out fake #RonPaul slates had fake delegate badges and wore #RonPaul shirts to blend in. #NVGOP

Oh wow, Romney.

Exactly.

Is there a master list based on the actual people who were voted in at the county level? Maybe I am misunderstanding this whole thing but why are they just not checking id's and kicking those out who were neve elected as a delegate?

 

[rodo1776]

If the issue on how many delegates is /was that there was a rule that to be seated you must have checked in by 9:00AM then:

1) Presumably if there was a rule we would have known that and been watching as 9:00Am came and went. In that case we could have seen that the majority of the late attendees looked primarily Romney or Paul. If it appeared that a majority of the late attendees appeared to be our votes then nothing would be said. If they appeared to be Romney majority then immediately something should have been done to either stop it or make sure there was a time stamp on the late check ins so as to be able to ID them later and make a challenge.

2) The chair and credentials committee chairwoman says there is no way to know who checked in after 9:00Am. Hard to believe but if so then my question is:
When checking in at the tables I presume you need to show ID then they make sure you are on the list and then give you the credential badge which has your name, county/precinct district whatever.
Does anyone know whether we were watching at 9:00Am and aware of the rule and more importantly are there now 1650 some delegates walking around with badges or just 1146 or whatever the preliminary report showed?
If everyone was issued badges including the late after 9:00Am people then we are screwed if there is no time stamp since after lunch all 1650 come in and we may not have the majority. Or we are in better shape if the majority of the late people were ours.

He's supposed to be someone that the Paul & Romney camps agreed on. I don't have any problems with the guy (so far).

He seems to be genuinely trying to handle things in a fair and orderly manner. But the situation is just so FUBAR ... not his fault, though.

It was on the stream being explained by Ron Paul supporters. Apparently that was the woman who stood up and got this whole thing called out, if I understood what she said.

 

[Student Of Paulism]

Lmao, fake badges. Honestly, glad to see NV didnt disappoint yet again, with more bread and circus theatrics I guess their next plan will be to put card board cut outs in the seats. I mean, yea, they must be real, they 'look' like real people!!

Oh wow, Romney.

Did the stream catch a picture of any of the fake badges or people handing out fake sheets? Is the stream recorded? Or is it played and dumped?

 

[rb3b3]

is it possible for someone to post a picture of the fake delegate badges?
