Last weekend we watched the Republicans gather to organize the Oklahoma Republican Party for another two years. The Party chose to give Pam Pollard her own full term, after she just completed Randy Brogdon's unexpired term. She and her team organized a well-designed event with a very comfortable venue. All the committees did their jobs efficiently (for the most part). Even the catered lunch was great. But when the body cast a very close and very contentious vote, the computers were called upon the get the weighted votes tabulated to the one-thousandth of a percent. With a small fraction of a percent deciding a key permanent change in how the party deals with candidates, the very software's algebraic algorithms were in need of a prudent review. Three delegates including Michael Bates of Batesline; were called upon to review the software code. They did indeed find an error and did an override using the proper calculations. But some of the delegates wanted even more openness. Some requested that the raw data and software code (Microsoft Excel and a macro), be made available after the convention. |
