Today is (supposed to be) the big day.
first gavel/cross talk already
Pepiton just moved to relieve the secretary during the nomination process
it failed. unless there are more BS motions, we're gonna start the nomination
adjourned until 11:15 central
starting back up. They should start nomination now
Sarwark just asked the Michigan delegation to ask Amash whether he would accept the nomination. wtf
and Darryl Perry just sent a case of beer to Sarwark
they're accepting this as a statement https://twitter.com/justinamash/status/1264229222429622278
@JacobforLiberty just won first round of voting
OMG IT'S HAPPENING!!!
Those with more than 30 tokens will proceed to the second round. so:
Hornberger
Jorgenses
Supreme
Monds
Gray
Kokesh
They suspended the rules so that all the failed pres candidates will automatically be considered for VP
change to the bottom candidates tokens
the VP rules suspension motion failed a 2/3rds majority. Only VP candidates will be considered
They are voting on suspension of the rules to put Arvin Vohra in nomination
It failed dramatically
Same motion proposed for Dan Behrman
it failed
now doing it for Souraya Faas
it failed as expected

Just move on to the 2nd round! these candidates aren't gonna win.
fuuuck
they're moving to do it for Sorinne Ardeleanu
PEOPLE JUST MOVE ON! IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN!
it failed of course
Motion to allow candidates who got 9+ tokens to address the body for 3 minutes

see this is actually something interesting
it failed

i'm glad we're not gonna spend time on that, but it would have been nice to hear from some of them
WHY?

motion to consider Sam Robb for nomination
lmao someone just suggested the whole Zoom call boo when someone makes one of these motions
Sam Robb motion failed

someone tried to add Kim Ruff, but they got shot down
THANK YOU!

someone finally moved to close nominations
Sarwark is being stubborn about it
SC delegation just moved to put Sarwark into consideration.
WTF SARWARK JUST SAID HE WOULD ACCEPT THE NOMINATION!!!
failed 207-707
YES! they're FINALLY closing nominations
so Sarwark refuses to close nomination, then someone moves to put his name into consideration, and he allows it. after it fails, he closes nomination

this is one of the many problems with Sarwark
they're about to go into ease for 30 min
they just randomly determined the speaking order of the candidates. It will be:
Monds
Kokesh
Jorgensen
Hornberger
Gray
Supreme
at ease until 1:15 central.

candidate speeches will begin at that time
how has it only been 2 hours? it feels more like 2 weeks
yeah sex is cool but have you ever listened to a thousand Libertarians make dilatory motions for 3 days straight?
