I watched this tonight and took notes. I was suddenly asked to replace someone as a county delegate so I’m doing a lot of quick research prior to the country elections tomorrow. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker. It was a lot of quick ty0ing and then I tried to fix missing info. Some info is truncated.
