We got secured e-mails for each vote that had a code for each delegate.

(144,926 posts)6. This is not magic
I suspect that the DNC will use similar procedures for the National Convention. In 2016, we had to sign a form at the Delegation breakfast to register our vote for the nominee. I like voting online for the Texas state convention

I don't want their superspreader event spreading more Covid 19 into communities.
