It is Pat Buchanan's nomination. They needed to win in there, and they did not have the numbers. We've won fair and square. The results of that vote are scheduled to be announced at the Long Beach Convention Center on Friday, the second day of the convention. But Hagelin has accused Buchanan of committing fraud in the primary process and claims that a majority of Reform Party members support him.
Many observers now believe it is possible.
The Reform Party's nominating process, however, has become so fractious that two separate conventions may go forward today. What is occurring in Long Beach this weekend is a split within the party. It's not going to be recognized by the Federal Election Commission. For its part, the FEC will have two officials on hand at the proceedings. It will likely be up to the commission to decide which candidate is the true nominee of the party and the rightful heir to the campaign war chest.
