Electronic voting produces chaos at state GOP convention | Eastern North Carolina Now

was it corruption or incompetence?

ENCNow

Republicans were reminded at their own convention of why using electronic voting is a recipe for diaster.  Numerous problems with an electronic voting system produced a result in the chairman's race that many delegates did not respect as accurate or honest, and the vice chairman's race was never able to be run at all.  There were huge problems for delegates on the convention floor to cast their votes, while guests who did not have the right to vote in the election were allowed by the system to vote.  So were people in other states who had no right to be voting, or those outside the convention hall.  Numerous counties recorded more votes than they had delegates on the floor.  The convention chairman said the results would stand even as angry delegates demanded a new vote by a different method.

The electronic voting system was designed by a North Carolina political consultant who has close ties to incumbent NCGOP chairman Michael Whatley who was running for reelection and whom the system claimed won that election.

The NC GOP is already sending fundraiser emails out touting themselves as defenders of election integrity. Even Hollywood couldn't make this stuff up.

You are right. Common sense and wisdom is lost on so many people.

Stan - We live in a time where corruption and perversion is not only accepted it is glorified.

The Republican Party in North Carolina has learned much from the National Democratic Socialists.

Thanks for showing up for the effort Charles.

Update: The rules of the convention were that only delegates in the convention hall had the right to vote. It appears there were violations as well as other troubling things. Here are a few examples:
1) Evidence that people voted using the ap from Florida and Wisconsin.
2) Guest that were not delegates to the convention used the ap to vote.
3) Three of the 1st four county totals were tossed because they reflected an over-vote.
4) The business day ended without a quorum as the only basis to adjourn the convention.
5) Electronic voting left no trail or evidence of the vote.

This is the statement from Mr. Whatley after all that has transpired: "That election was done and final and will not be re-opened."

So much for transparency, righteousness and honor. This is a terrifying situation that leads me to a No Confidence conclusion.

Take the divisions like NCGOPe, grassroots, patriots, insider, outsider et al out of it. What are we left with? A four-day convention including many speakers, events, dinners, and a little business.

What business did we accomplish? Saturday morning, we censored Senator Tillis for votes that were violations of our state and national Republican Party platforms. In the Saturday afternoon session, we were supposed to have elections for state party positions. For some reason (hum) electronic voting was reserved only for this portion of our business. The result was utter chaos. After a long time, we were told that Whatley (our pro Tillis chairman) had won, but there was no way to account for the legitimacy of the voting (like no paper trail). Because of the long-term confusion there was no time for the other state party elections. In short, a disaster.

Many of us, including me, only attended the business session of the convention in Greensboro on Saturday. The bright spot on all this was the good company of my travel companions. We left at 3am Saturday morning to attend. One of my companions was a first-time delegate and the other was a first-time visitor to our state convention. I have been to a good number of conventions over the years. We all sacrificed to go this year.

At this convention, I was ashamed to be a North Carolina Republican.
