[Lnc-business] Impartiality of Chair

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

I was aware of that Mr Longstreth but I do not believe that mitigates this
situation.  Why?  That is the AFTER scenario.  IF the first attempt fails
then of course one would go.

That does not mitigate a pledge by the chair while presiding to subvert the
will of the LNC.

Not at all.  Many many people who want to force an all online convention
will also attend.

They are not mutually exclusive nor does it mitigate the extreme bias.
