Credentialling Irregularities at the LibCon
Kinsella has a picture of the registration chaos at the LibCon,
“This photo, taken a minute ago on my cell camera, shows very, very many Liberals - who are very, very upset - waiting to “bump up” for the vacant delegate spots. This is where the leadership may now be won.
It is like the fabled helicopter lifting off the rooftop in Saigon, totally chaotic, and no other media is paying attention. They should.”
In that room the fix goes in - a no show Kennedy supporter is replaced with an Iggy supporter. If that happens once it is no big deal, a couple of hundred times and the entire process becomes tainted.
I’ve done a far from scientific scan of the blogs and there is nothing up on this. Laura over at The Tyee is on the story though. And here she has her man, Peyman Nazer, who arrived an alternate, was left outside the promotion room but, somehow, managed to get delegate credentials.
This has the potential to be a real scandal. Under normal rules a challenge to the voting procedure from the floor this evening is not at all out of the question; especially if there seems to be any evidence of systemic bias in favour of one candidate or another.
