Hybrid ballot glitches and accessibility tweaks slow early voting; staff reissue ballots

Convention staff explained hybrid voting procedures to ensure remote and in‑hall delegates could participate. Votes are opened for fixed windows (typically 10 minutes) with QR codes and links posted in a shared Google Drive; staff urged delegates to use their phones or the Chromebook Village if they encounter problems.

A ballot display error on the second ballot required staff to reissue the ballot and erase earlier entries so delegates could vote on corrected language; Isabella Maffei led onstage ballot clarifications and accessibility tweaks. "I am changing the colors so that it is accessible for color blind folks," she said while explaining how vote boxes would be labeled, and staff reissued ballots to fix the error before final tallying. The rules-adoption ballot and later minority-report ballots were completed after the corrections.
