[statecom] Hello from Chicago!

[Jim Hammerman]

Hi John,
Thanks for the update and the good news about CSpan's coverage and about 
Jill's speech.

Your report on the challenge to delegates has some different information 
than we were told.

1) We were told that the credentials committee _wouldn't_ select one slate 
or another, but would have to receive challenges and objections against 
individual delegates. 

2) At the same time, we have not created a list of individuals to be 
removed, but categories of delegates who were not seated correctly for 
different reasons. We don't intend to personalize the objections, just to 
make the case for problems in the allocation and assignment of delegates 
which need to be addressed. Depending on which, if any, of the arguments 
we make are deemed valid, there are implications for different people. I'm 
attaching a .pdf version of that 14 page document you refer to (just 
completed yesterday) so others can read it. 

3) The existence of alternative allocations and delegate apportionment 
plans have been discussed throughout our long process but have not been 
formally taken up. And despite your cheery description of the process used 
to approve the list sent by the party officers, there remain substantial 
problems with the process, some of which are documented in the objection. 

Finallly, people should know that Mike Heichman also signed onto the 
alternate delegation and challenge.

-Jim
