**NEVADA** State Convention updates here

[slamhead]

Tar and feather the people caught with the fake badges.

Is there a better stream for this?

 

[rb3b3]

plain and simple, if only the original 1146 delegates are allowed to reenter we win, if the 400 late arrivals present their official badges and are also allowed to vote, we lose! simple as that

I don't think we should get as worked up about this as we seem to be doing. IF they ARE registered and credentialed, then they are simply late voters. I personally have been late to many events so I don't see the correlation between being late AND cheating. If there are rules that say that late comers MUST be removed then they should handle that but I don't think being late is the same as cheating especially if they are Registered and Credentialed.

This. And unless otherwise stated in the Rules, the relevant time is when the convention gaveled itself in (approx. 9:40). So much of it depends on the Call for Convention and the Rules of the Convention: the last time I went to a Virginia state convention, it was a two-day event: Friday afternoon and all day Saturday. The majority of delegates only came for Saturday: they were "late" but duly elected from their county and thus seated. Under that scheme, 500 more delegates could show up over lunch and as long as they're on the list, they're valid.

I hear that the Chair has announced that everyone re-entering the room will need a badge and state ID, and be checked against the original list of certified delegates.

Did they do a fake vote and Mitt won? Now did everyone vote plus the guests? Any chance at least half of those 400 are for Paul?

Did they do a fake vote and Mitt won?

Not sure what you mean by this.

Now did everyone vote plus the guests?

Yes, during the voting, guests were shouting and they couldn't distinguish who was a delegate and who wasn't based on volume of the crowd.

Any chance at least half of those 400 are for Paul?

Based on what was being said by the person feeding the stream to his friend he was commenting with, they concluded that there were rumors that Romney people were bussed in at the last minute. Plus the twitter feeds confirmed the same thing. There is always the chance that that was bogus.

 

[slamhead]

That's the crucial point of this whole convention. If the late comers are allowed to vote on whether or not they can vote later on the Romney people will have a majority. If they are excluded from this vote then Ron Paul should win it.

The bad thing about it: this depends totally on the party's (or the chair's) interpretation of the rule and on how they (or he) decide(s) how to vote. So this whole convention comes down to: Will the late comers be allowed to vote or not and this is therefore not really up to the delegates - because the result is predeterminated on who's eligible to vote.

Are we assuming all the late comers are all Romney people?

Only if vast mayority of those 400 are Mitts people. It is possible that there are some Ron Pauls, Santorums and 1 Newts people/guy.

State IDs and Delegate badges are now required to enter room at #NVGOP convention! Good! ( #nvgop live at http://ustre.am/Khxm/1)

This is good

The the latecomers get badges?

 

[Titus]

@Barrex, thanks for the correction. I'm monitoring like five things at once.

 

[UtahApocalypse]

The difference between those Delegates Credentialed before or after 9am is the Difference of a Ron Paul Majority or not. Since they decided not to keep track of time people signed in there is NO way to eliminate the Delegates that arrived late. Thus Romney WILL win Nevada.

lol

 

[rodo1776]

If we had approx 750 out of 1146 and 100 of the other four hundred we should still have a slight majority no? Hard to assume that all of the 400 were romneys? I imagine some RPers were out late last night. Hey it's Reno no?

 

[Thor]

I got the impression the latecomers on the bus were all "guests". Perhaps I misunderstood.

 

[dancjm]

I think some had fake badges. But from what I hear a list will be used to verify those who are entitled to vote, which is good news.

 

[Lightweis]

PUT THE STREAM UP GRRRR

Should be true. Now if the rules say that the only the 1146 should be eligible to vote but the party claims that they have lost the list of names there should be heads rolling and a new convention. This level of unprofessionality would be really unacceptable. Otherwise why not bus in 200 Ron Paul alternates now? ...

 

[thoughtomator]

The idea of having "guests" who are not delegates and not segregated from the delegation (so they can be indistinguishable from genuine votes in normal parliamentary procedure) makes a mockery of a republican form of government.
