May 2016

a. These rules of the 2016 Nevada State Democratic Convention may only be suspended by a vote of three-‐fourths (3/4) of all convention delegates.

b. These rules shall only be suspended in the instance where an unforeseen circumstance in these rules has prohibited the convention from conducting its required business.

c. Under no circumstances shall these rules be suspended for taking any action contrary to expressed intent or will of these rules.

d. Either the Parliamentarian or the Convention Chair shall rule any motion to suspend
the rules out of order based on the above criterion.

So how exactly did they expect there to be rule changes?
