The fact that we use a different method later does not make the first decision wrong, inappropriate or disturbing. It was simply the LNC’s preference at that time and it can be based on any reason.

This early from the convention, I would be highly reluctant to vote for someone who had not previously run. Why not? These people did run, and the fact is that we do not know the ultimate preferences of the delegates since they were (utterly unfairly in my mind) denied the chance for subsequent ballots. The next in line candidates are close in number to ones we have seated, and if that was legitimate (and it passed), this is legitimate.
