An update from the Democratic Convention. While disappointing, I'm not surprised. I expected it and it's for our good.You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
Thought of you when I saw that the other day. I'm glad they're looking out for everyone's wellbeing, but it has to be a bit of a disappointment to get the gig and not get to go to the convention. It is awesome you are doing your duty for our election, and I hope this doesn't diminish your excitement too much!!
Oh, not at all! In fact just this morning I had my first of what will be quite a few delegate business meetings with the Biden campaign on my computer. Our role in nominating Joe Biden for president and his running mate for vice president is not in any way diminished! Actually, I would have been plenty shocked if the DNC told us coming to Milwaukee was still an option.
Earlier today (Monday, August 3), as an elected Democratic Convention delegate, I was one of at least 2,627 delegates that cast my online vote affirming Joe Biden’s Democratic nomination for president, the Platform and approval of the Rules Committee report and just within the last hour got my confirmation of my votes! 🙂 Which is really no different from getting my barcodes E-mailed to me confirming my Comic-Con badge purchase! LOL! ;DI should add instead of returning my Adobe ballot, for security purposes, I cast my votes on the Adobe reader, then printed it out and scanned it and E-mailed the scanned ballot to the state party with the statement that I’m voting for Biden, the Platform and the rules report. I was told by the DNC they will do the state-by-state roll call at the Convention Aug. 17-20. I will post the scanned copy of my ballot here to show all of you after the roll-call when it’s safe to do so! My Mom is worried the Russians may try to hack it!
This is all very cool, and I appreciate you sharing the details of this process from the beginning through completion! The democratic process of our POTUS election is far more complicated than most realize, and while many of us might've read about this stuff it's great to get insight like this. When I was in middle school, during Bush Sr's first election, we had a school-wide 'delegate conference' where we learned about the process in the classroom, and then acted out the process of delegates from each state delegates nominating their candidate. I remember I was some sort of delegate or something, but obviously 30+ years later I don't remember much. But because of that experience I've been fascinated with this process and I've really enjoyed you sharing the process and giving us all a look into the election processThank you!
