The Chair has abandoned his post
The RNC chairman came out to attempt to ratify the Rules Committee recommendations and he decided to do it via a quick voice vote. It sounded close but he spoke over the crowd, ruled that 'the ayes have it' and then chants and boos and confusion started.
A few moments later, someone whispered something in his ear and he walked off stage.
That's where it stands at the moment. Confusion abounds. Some delegations are reportedly walking out.
Utah Senator Mike Lee is on TV saying it's "surreal".
Update: They took a revote and the Chairman again said those supporting the rules had a majority. To be fair, they sounded a bit louder on TV.
Then he dismissed calls for a roll call as well.
They're trying to move on but delegates from Colorado and Iowa reported walked out, among others.
Update 2: That's all she wrote. Some revolutions end in a whimper.
