The Great Quorum Conspiracy: Secret Audio from HOT Lane Discussion at NCGOP Convention

Early this morning, a PunditHouse source provided us with the audio from the now famous Executive Committee debate on an anti-HOT lane resolution during this past weekend’s NCGOP Convention.

There have been several stories posted to date regarding the shenanigans that led to the resolution not passing the committee.  This post by Kurt Naas of WidenI77.org and this post from the Dailyhaymaker outline what we like to call “Fun with Quorum Calls: Lessons on Bringing Debate to an End when Failure is Imminent”.

Here is a brief synopsis of some key time frames in this audio snippet.

Opening: Adam Love moves the resolution to the floor.
1:55 – Former NCGOP Chairman Robin Hayes objects to consent
2:20 – Adam Love gives opening speech in support of the resolution
3:05 – Obvious cheers of support from the crowd
5:32 – Robin Hayes speaks against the resolution, citing desire for no Party involvement in pending legislative matters
8:30 – Thom Tillis gives 5 minute speech in favor of HOT lanes
15:30 – First Quorum Call
20:45 – Achieving Quorum, debate continues with one speaker against the resolution
23:51 – Upon Tillis’ departure, another quorum call is made. This time quorum is not met, and the meeting is ended.
