Interesting voting at Lowndes County Republican Convention Delegate Meeting

Some Ron Paul supporters videoed the reading of results for votes in Lowndes County for delegates to the Republican National Convention. One of the people up front asked incredulously:

You're trying to copy them all?

As the video notes:

A copy wouldn't be too much to ask would it?

Curiously, the video also omits the actual list of names.

The moderator asked for those opposed to accepting the delegate slate for one district to stand up. Several people did. A loud complaint was heard:

Um, because you asked if there was any opposition?

There's more, involving attempts to amend to add other delegates "that's gonna be a problem", requests for a count that it's not clear is ever taken, at least one person raising his hand and then having to ask whether hands were for or against, etc.

Here's the video:

The video says they were supposed to have a 2/3 majority to adopt the slate of delegates, and it doesn't look like they got it. Yet it was declared passed:

It's passed. It's done. No more discussion.
