Under current rules, Paul needs just 5 states. But new rules say he needs 8. Six submitted. Full convention must adopt new 8-state rule.

Edit: I guess the signatures could have been collected yesterday.

What happened to Maine?
The short version....
Did we get Maine seated?


Edit: Oops...

[sailingaway]

Not yet

in fact it sounds like they replaced the REST of Ron's delegates from Maine, they must just be writing the state off for the election as blue.

Didn't they already use up the pro-Romney alternates in getting rid of the first batch of Ron Paul delegates? Surely Ron Paul owned the alternates too. Or are they creating delegates out of thin air?

This would make my year. After the nonsense the GOP has pulled these past few weeks, if we were able to nominate Ron.... that would be priceless.

Rules report just passed.

Does that mean the 8 state rule for nomination is in effect?

How can they change it for this year? Don't rules changes go to NEXT contest?

There were many temporary rules that could be changed for this convention. I don't remember if the 5 state rule was one of the temporary rules.

They can lock you up for the rest of your life for no reason. That's how. They can do whatever they want.

Nevada phone for objections at RNC doesn't work per text. Maine alterantes removed from building

[LostNFoundNTx]

How can they change it for this year? Don't rules changes go to NEXT contest?

Either:

1. You are not watching
2. Are blind

The obvious answer is they can change whatever they want, for whatever reason they want, whenever they want. The rules mean absolutely nothing.

"Without objection" :rolleyes:

[muzzled dogg]

do we have a list of rpf'ers down there?

I meant, would the other delegates back us up that that was a rule violation. Malkin isn't tweeting Ron has 6 states, they plan to bury that he did, I think

[sailingaway]

6 states can demand Roll call I think, of a vote, 10 can demand it be in writing. I texted a delegate there who said he is passing it on. Dammit! Now I have to leave.

[RonRules]

& Virgin islands

I take back everything I said about Virgin Islands in an earlier post.

[McChronagle]

Talk this with a grain of salt but someone in the feed claiming to be on location is saying 9 states now and possibly more...

RULE NO. 42

Temporary Rules
Rule Nos. 25 through No. 42 shall be the
temporary rules of the next national convention and its
committees and subcommittees.

RULE NO. 40

Nominations
(b) Each candidate for nomination for
President of the United States and Vice President of the
United States shall demonstrate the support of a
plurality of the delegates from each of five (5) or more
states, severally, prior to the presentation of the name of
that candidate for nomination.

I think with the rules report they just adopted, the rules for nomination at this convention have been changed from plurality in 5 states to majority in 8 states.

[ChrisDixon]

Until the RNC screws us. But until then, I'm going to try and legitimately be excited. I'm anxious as all hell right now...

Him getting nominated would be the only way to salvage this disgusting sham of a convention.

Fuck these neocon pieces of shit so hard. I fucking hate Obama and im already half tempted to vote for the man because of what they're doing.

plurality v majority never mattered.

[tsai3904]

plurality v majority never mattered.

I know but the change from 5 states to 8 states matters a lot if we submitted nominations from 6 states. I'm still not clear which rule is in effect right now.

[sailingaway]

someone in the other thread quoted someone saying we have 9 states now but I haven't heard that from the delegates I'm in contact with
