That’s a polite way to put it.
After RNC deputy permanent chair Steve Womack — “in the opinion of the chair — tabled a proposed resolution for a roll call vote, the convention hall erupted.

It was almost as if the chair suddenly went deaf during the no’s.

Sen. Mike Lee is still calling for a point of order and a roll call vote.

And when another motion was made for a recorded roll call vote, the chair shot that down, too.
Womack now says that initially 9 states filed petitions for a roll call vote, but 3 states withdrew (7 is the threshold). #RNCinCLE

Chair says signatures were withdrawn, falling below threshold for roll call vote requirement.

Great work, RNC. Unity, or something.
DO IT.
