I didn't go look at the proxies, but if someone wanted to offer their vote spontaneously, that's up to them. You have to give him points for being organized. Where they ran into trouble was trying to stop the debate and force a vote, and that's when the motion and counter-motion started. It wasn't very impressive, for the people that were close enough to hear.
The Chairman would have been a lot smarter trying to solicit speakers, and letting this thing end itself, than by trying to get to a vote fast, fast, fast. As bad as a meeting was, it would have turned into a riot if the Vice-Chair hadn't shown helped him worked through it.
