[Lnc-business] Hybrid Convention idea

[Elizabeth Van Horn]

I will not support without a hybrid option.  If a POTUS/VP nomination
can be done electronically/remotely.  Then so can the other convention
business. 

This isn't about "everyone gets something they want".  It's about not
asking people to risk their health or that of family.
