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.
I heard over two dozen voters who were registered in person or by proxy never voted - meaning they had to leave before they could vote. They asked who was undecided and some of the P2P guys who are adamant supporters of the incumbent raised their hands. One of the more comical moments. No one walked into the meeting undecided. 20 + disenfranchised voters was the only outcome of the refusals to allow the vote and the attempt to amend the resolution.
