[Lnc-business] Hybrid Convention idea

[Tim Hagan]

According to Rule 3 of the Convention Special Rules of Order, delegates
can be polled individually if a state's vote report is challenged, and
they must sign computer readable ballots if they're used. There's no
requirement for a secret ballot. 

I listened in on the Bylaws Committee meeting yesterday. They worked on
an amendment that would allow a hybrid convention. I'd fully support
what they had at the end of their meeting, and it's very similar to your
idea. Of course, It would need to be passed by the in-person attendees
to become in effect.

They would then authorize emergency bylaws allowing remote voting for those with health concerns, compromised family, etc. Each delegation chair would make the decision on who would meet the criteria and the delegation chair would need to be on site at the physical portion of convention. Those voting remote could only vote on things that aren't voice. (Such as President, VC, LNC officers and at large, and JC) and would do so by email ballot (my only concern here is no secret ballot). The state chairs would then tabulate the combined votes and send them to the on site secretary as usual.
