[Lnc-business] I am very very disturbed

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

And one correction, the top two did get a majority vote.

But the rest did not on that round.  This is not fair to anyone and an
affront to our processes.  In a second round with Joe and Sam out of the
running as they were elected we have NO IDEA really how it would have
turned out.  If I were running for At-Large I would be pissed beyond
belief.  People run expecting they will be given a fair election.  Of all
people we should know that.

   We completely disrespected our rules and bylaws by effectively using
   plurality voting that was never intended.  Perhaps the results would
   have been the same but it is patently not fair to the body that no one
   in the At Large position had to achieve a majority.  I am pretty
   confident that the results would have been almost the same but the
   Party deserved that.  It is absolutely ridiculous the way we
   de-prioritize Party business and a dereliction of our duty.  And not
   fair to the At-Large members who will have a cloud over their head when
   they should be able to be proud of their accomplishment.
   There is no excuse for this happening now two conventions in a row.
   None.  And we should be so mortified that fixing this be priority
   number one.
