Mr. Phillips, your comments go way beyond the bounds of decorum. I do not know what has gotten into you, but I will not engage with that kind of baseless rhetoric.
It is unfortunate you think you have to posture in that manner when although I absolutely disagreed with your vote last time I went out of my way on social media to defend you.
I oppose hybrid on bylaws grounds. Don't you dare insult my character by claiming I want to kill people. That is outrageous.

I'm absolutely open to discussing ideas about hybrids and finding solutions to getting our POTUS candidate nominated as soon as possible but I don't think what I'm seeing in this proposal is an appropriate solution

1) This mentions state chairs tabulating and reporting votes...where are the state chairs in this scenario?
2) Who decides what location is "best suited" and what "possible" means in ASAP?
3) Who decides who the delegation chairs are?
4) When would the determination of eligibility for the remote participants be made? Prior to the gathering? Or would everyone on-site have to wait for this to happen?
5) What if those on-site do not "authorize emergency bylaws"?

I'm actually not sure I'd be willing to support a postponement that doesn't also allow remote participation but I could be swayed if that's what the delegation wants.

Tim and Dustin, there is a majority of LNC members now who are willing to sign on to a different compromise. An all online P/VP election very soon and an in person convention for everything else in July/august with no hybrid option. This way everyone gets something of what they want. I am willing to sign off on that.
I hope you will too Tim.

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.

Attached is a rough idea that I had that might satisfy both sides of the issue. It was relatively popular with Ohio folks
I want to get your guys' thoughts on a hybrid convention. Here's how it would work roughly:
As many delegates as possible/want to would meet at a time and place best suited and ASAP. 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.
