Switching Of Votes At National Democratic Convention
Delegates may switch votes on a national roll call during the Democratic National Convention with rules permitting changes at the end of a roll call. Florida Governor LeRoy Collins is seen as key to resolving the issue, possibly limiting chaos without banning switching. Collins may declare a new policy to regulate end of roll call movements and prevent unfair outcomes while preserving convention dynamics and momentum for Kennedy rivals.
