The rules of the convention required adjournment at 6pm.
Any motion to suspend the Rules Needed 1467 Ayes
- The State Convention meeting ended in CHAOS
- After Jensen received the endorsement, Delegates were told to turn in their clickers as they left.
- The Rules required adjournment at 6pm- attendees believed the meeting ended.
- After many of those present had left, there was a frantic push to re-open/resume the meeting.
- The Minutes do NOT reflect any debate occurred, the question was called or that a vote was taken to suspend the rules to extend the meeting- likely because there is NO POSSIBLE WAY 1467 people were still present.
- At 17:59 The minutes suggest the report was forwarded as a block and debate ensued. THERE IS NO MENTION OF A MOTION OR A SECOND, THERE IS NO MOTION TO CALL THE QUESTION.
- At 18:11 the minutes indicate the amendments passed as a block on a majority vote. Again- it is unlikely there was even 750 people in the hall- people had left the building.
- At 18:52, there was a motion to certify an affiliate: The Convention has NO AUTHORITY to certify an affiliate.
EVERYTHING THAT OCCURRED AFTER 6PM WAS IMPROPER AS THE MEETING HAD ENDED.
