Early Returns: Two Key Votes

June 15, 2021 by Dave Miller

I have never come into a convention with less of an idea of how things will go.

There were two votes that may give a hint.

First, Tom Ascol made a poorly constructed motion which was ruled out of order, asking that any entity that affirmed CRT be defunded. He appealed the ruling of the chair and needed 2/3 to support him.

He got about 1/3.

The Business and Financial Plan went down in flames – perhaps 99.9%. I could see maybe a dozen who voted for it.

In 40 years, I have never seen the Executive Committee so completely repudiated.

The CBN guys at the EC pushed this plan as a means of gaining control and power over other entities.  They failed.
