UPDATES AS THE PROCESS CONTINUES
Scroll to bottom for latest update.
With Bob Barr at the
top of the ticket, Libertarian delegates select their Vice-Presidential nominee.
Nominating speeches are continuing - we will update ballots as they come in.
UPDATE 1: Ruwart nominates Kubby because the "LP needs a anti-drug warrior to balance the drug warrior [Presidential nominee]. Barr nominates Root. First balloting occurring now.
UPDATE 2: C-SPAN, as expected, dropped live coverage when the convention went to recess. However, you can watch the VP process via the Presidential nominee,
Bob Barr. (Thanks
Jacqueline Passey)
