I can't find any information on when the actual vote is at the RNC. Not on the official website, not in news services... nothing.

I mean, I know it's fixed, the vote is just symbolic, and any dissent is probably going to end in arrests, but do we even get to know when it happens?

The webcast at campaignforliberty.com last night had a random announcement on it that said that they were going to vote by acclimation and any delegates had to hightail it back to the convention....

...what exactly is going on with the vote? Does anyone know? Is anyone allowed to know?

Bump...
Nobody knows?
SERIOUSLY?
So nobody is even pretending that the purpose of the convention is to actually figure out who the candidate is? Not even us?

Sitting here listening to the individual states cast their votes I clearly heard a total of 11 votes for Ron Paul. After the tally, it was announced that only 5 votes for RP were cast.

Obviously inconsequential, but frustrating all-the-same.
