**NEVADA** State Convention updates here

[kathy88]

The RP guy running the live stream just did a brief little report. He said Ron will speak after all the delegates are in & seated ... maybe 20 minutes or so from now.

(ALSO: Rumors that Romneyites were being trucked in earlier is just uncomfirmed hearsay)

Has the chair addressed the fake slates?

I think they plan on getting to that after Ron Paul speaks. RP has a schedule to keep, so I'm sure they won't want to put him off.

I don't think they ever planned to stop the 400 late comers didn't they say they were going to adress it on the floor once everyhting gets back in?

Why did they let them in separately then? I think they have seated the guests elsewhere, but it looks like its based on the honor system (only those who admit to being guests have moved) and maybe a little loose ID checking.

Anybody else get the feeling they are about to watch history being made?

Maybe I'm being too enthusiastic about this.

Someone ask for written and verified votes only. No more vocal voting or standing votes.

You're right, the stream runs *much* better in IE than in Firefox/Chrome.

Here's the link again for those just joining us: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/nevadaconvention

Ron Paul will be speaking shortly.

It seems order has been restored, delegates sorted, non-delegates cleared from the room. The people who are present to vote are only those who have been officially selected and were present on the list with verified delegate badges. There are no '400 romney latecomers' if there ever were.

Im so glad I got involved with that twitter thread here a while back. Ive been throwing tweets out from the threads on ME and NV and getting retweeted quite a bit. I only have 2025 followers, but word is out

Another summary:

• Business started in the morning
• Unidentified individuals began to hand out fake/counterfeit Ron Paul slates.
• "Guests" were bussed in.
• Hearsay: These were from the Romney campaign.
• Time went on, more visitors arrived.
• Visitors and "guests" were present and added to the noise.
• This resulted in a big mess while reports were being given.
• No new motions could be done.
• The base was compromised so they left for lunch.
• Non-delegates, media, and visitors were asked to leave/(move to another room?).
• Delegates are now back in the room after a cursory check of credentials???
• Ron Paul is slated to speak in ~20 minutes.
• Claim: Counterfeit slates matched Romney's slates exactly.
• These were handed out in the middle of the convention.

IF I am understanding what is going on right. The guest are not latecomers. The latecomers are those who came in after 9 am and had delagate badges. So all they did now was get those who have no right to vote no matter what time they showed up seperated from everyone else so they can not vote in audio votes. But they are still going to adress the latecommers who are actual delagates/

Excellent!

I'm going to be dreaming about BP Gasoline with Invigorate tonight.

 

[MozoVote]

The longer this drags on, the more Romney people will be giving up and leaving. I know if I'd been through the 2008 fiasco, there is NO WAY that I'd leave as long as the convention is in session.

 

[drummergirl]

The livestream is up to over 1600 viewers! There were about 400 when I joined this morning. Holy Cow! and yes, this is better than watching final four basketball...

 

[Carson]

He said the "counterfeit" slates that the guests were handing out were identical to Romneys, lol.

Perhaps the people that handed out the fake slates will have to live with themselves every time someone hands them something.

 

[GRNBO]

The show is on in 2 minutes.

 

[Lightweis]

I thought the problem was that the original delegates gave us a majority and the late-comers where brought in by the Romney camp, but where not part of the original list of delegates, and according to Roberts Rules only those on the original list have the right to take part in the vote. I think on that list we have the majority.

I think.

2:00 minute warning!!

At this point I really am lost if that is the case lol
