<div dir="auto">So one of the biggest problems was the issue with the minority report on the platform. It is clear in the bylaws that there is only supposed to be 1 Minority Report. But the committee decided to send out multiple minority reports. This issue took over an hour to resolve just on the rules on the floor on how to handle this. Then it took extra time in order to resolve each vote and each reconciliation of the rules on the subsequent minority reports. There should have been enough time to get all the elected positions done, however we were pushed a full hour and a half into the next day for minority reports and platform changes. We were supposed to end business several hours before we order adjourned. That hour and a half, plus the weight of all the parliamentarian debate that we had, did not help.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Thu, Jul 5, 2018, 11:35 PM mergler33 via Lpganationaldelegates2018 <<a href="mailto:lpganationaldelegates2018@lpmail.lp.org">lpganationaldelegates2018@lpmail.lp.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div><font face="sans-serif">I know this was my first convention and I'm not sure how they usually go.

<p>I think the issue is more that we leave the really important elections until the very end. We shouldn't have to rush through it. I'm not mad Nick rushed us through it based on where we were, but we shouldn't be in that position to begin with.</p>

<p>Hey Team,</p>
<p>Our brand new alternate is asking us about how this was handled. It sounds like some are upset at us suspending the rules to elect these positions in one vote, especially given the first out in the LNC At-Large race only lost by a single vote.</p>
<p>Victoria wants to know if we felt bullied in any way.</p>
<p>It sounds like there is some discussion of fixing the vote for the 3 LNC At-Large that we got by suspending the rules, and every Judicial Committee member.</p>
