- 00:14:21 20 minutes since the last amendment passed. Looks like we are about to take the next vote. Also a tally vote. So tick tock. #WADemCon
- 00:24:17 Second amended failed by a little bit.
- 00:25:49 That was 31 minutes for that charter amendment. 8 more to go. #WADemCon
- 00:26:27 Nobody got a majority of votes for elector. Either male or female. So run offs. #WADemCon
- 00:27:19 Retweeted @SharonHayes 00:26:59 @abulsme crazy eh? #WADemCon in reply to abulsme
- 00:27:34 .@SharonHayes Super efficient! in reply to SharonHayes
- 00:30:55 Given how many candidates in first round, top two probably got relatively small %. Favors those known by many prior to conv. #WADemCon
- 00:36:06 Going to do some platform and resolution stuff while they are tallying the elector runoff. #WADemCon
- 00:37:04 There is a resolution for the convention to endorse Sanders. This would be seperate from any delegate allocation for Philly. #WADemCon
- 00:39:10 Parliamentarian confirming a convention endorsement is purely symbolic. Has no actual force in policy or delegates or anything. #WADemCon
- 00:40:52 There is also going to be a second resolution doing a dual endorsement for both Sanders and Clinton. Also symbolic only. #WADemCon
- 00:41:41 Based on rule change passed earlier, these only require a majority of those present, not of those elected. #WADemCon
- 00:42:56 Chair reads news about Obama executive order on assault weapons. Crowd goes wild. Standing ovation, cheers, etc. #WADemCon
- 00:43:54 Any chance at all an EO like that doesn’t end up at SCOTUS? Nah. #WADemCon
- 00:47:41 Anybody got a link to that Obama executive order news? I’m not seeing anything about it in any of the places I would expect. #WADemCon
- 00:49:36 Retweeted @OccupyDisabled 00:49:04 @abulsme It's a hoax, unfortunately. in reply to abulsme
- 00:50:24 .@OccupyDisabled Thought it might be. I would have had news alerts going off and nothing else on Twitter or top news sites. #WADemCon in reply to OccupyDisabled
- 00:51:53 Retweeted @OccupyDisabled 00:51:39 @abulsme Fake abc news site ran it https://t.co/00i63HwGQ6 in reply to abulsme
- 00:52:36 .@OccupyDisabled Nice that the fake news got to the chair and was repeated to all of #WADemCon without confirmation. No correction yet. in reply to OccupyDisabled
- 00:53:29 Retweeted @tienle47 00:53:11 @abulsme Right? He's in Yosemite right now. I see nothing anywhere. in reply to abulsme
- 00:54:02 .@tienle47 Yup. Turns out was news from fake news site. Not real at all. Chair passed on bad info. in reply to tienle47
- 00:54:05 Retweeted @OccupyDisabled 00:53:16 @abulsme kinda embarrassing… in reply to abulsme
- 00:54:21 .@OccupyDisabled Indeed. in reply to OccupyDisabled
- 00:55:20 The vote on Bernie endorsement now happening. #WADemCon
- 00:56:42 Bernie endorsement passes. Crowd chanting Bernie. #WADemCon Call for a tally. Counting to begin.
- 00:57:13 Retweeted @tienle47 00:55:07 @abulsme That's unfortunate. But it happens. Seems like she's doing an otherwise stellar job. in reply to abulsme
- 00:57:37 .@tienle47 She had indeed. But a correction should be made. #WADemCon in reply to tienle47
- 01:03:55 Endorsement needs 481 votes of the 960 present to pass. Counting… #WADemCon
- 01:04:48 Oops. Not quite. If some of the 960 left or don’t vote needs less. Just needs more yes than no. #WADemCon in reply to abulsme
- 01:09:17 They only rented the room through 7 PM. 52 minutes to go unless they work something out. #WADemCon
- 01:10:20 Chair announces she “got punked” by assault weapon news. Crowd sounds very sad. #WADemCon
- 01:11:05 Took 27 minutes for chair to acknowledge plunking. #WADemCon
- 01:12:05 The Sanders endorsement succeeds in the full tally count. 564 to 246. Convention endorses Sanders. #WADemCon
- 01:12:57 Now taking up a resolution to endorse BOTH Clinton and Sanders. Whatever that means. Symbolic only. #WADemCon
- 01:15:04 Speaker calls Clinton a war criminal. Crowd boos and yells them down. #WADemCon
- 01:21:29 Time for the vote on the dual endorsement. #WADemCon
- 01:29:21 Dual endorsement resolution fails with 236 yeas, 527 nays. Sanders endorsement stands alone. #WADemCon
- 01:30:19 Now on to actual platform stuff. 30 minutes left until we lose the room. #WADemCon
- 01:47:34 Retweeted @AmyNotAmy 01:41:02 Here's another shoutout to @NoelFrame for being a tru homie and being really nice to all of us at the #WADemCon. Ur 2 good 4 us.
- 01:49:51 Retweeted @OccupyDisabled 01:35:21 @abulsme So frustrating. Our Chair in HI wasted time dancing(!) instead of getting to our resolutions, which came last on our agenda. in reply to abulsme
- 01:49:55 Retweeted @OccupyDisabled 01:36:18 @abulsme Do your rules permit floor amendments to the platform? in reply to abulsme
- 01:50:25 .@OccupyDisabled Not my rules. So I don’t know. I’m just an observer. :-) in reply to OccupyDisabled

- 01:51:54 Back just in time to see platform approved as is. #WADemCon
- 01:52:32 Under 8 minutes left until room has to be vacated. #WADemCon
- 01:54:37 They are trying to discuss an amendment before the end. Less than 4 minutes left. Good luck. #WADemCon
- 01:58:43 Trying to do a visual vote on this motion (related to universal service requirements) before time runs out. Ayes have it. #WADemCon
- 01:59:49 Motion to adopt platform committee recommended “do pass” changes. Less than a minute left technically. Doing it anyway. #WADemCon
- 02:03:34 “Do pass” resolutions that is. #WADemCon in reply to abulsme
- 02:06:27 6 minutes past time. One more vote then done no matter what. #WADemCon

- 16:33:27 Getting to #WADemCon bout 30 min after things started today. Much smaller crowd for delegate selection since just Central Committee voting.
- 16:34:46 Looks like I only missed the call to order and the pledge of allegiance. They are now reviewing the agenda. #WADemCon
- 16:35:03 Daughter @AmyNotAmy not selected by Sanders campaign to run, so she is sleeping in. I’m here playing wannabe journalist. :-) #WADemCon

- 17:28:06 One of the PLEO candidates just sang “Love Train” as an alternative to the Trump Train. #WADemCon
- 17:39:40 Done with Clinton PLEO candidates. They are taking a break before doing the much longer Sanders list. #WADemCon
- 17:50:50 First person on the Sanders lost wasn’t actually an elected official. Took herself out to be looked at with the At-Large. #WADemCon
- 17:51:18 Then an immediate break to “check something”. Do they have the wrong list? #WADemCon
- 17:54:17 Yup. The PLEO list submitted by the Sanders campaign includes a bunch of people who aren’t elected officials. Oops. #WADemCon
