Preparing the Convention: 

It is that time of year when conventions have been chosen for 1876 and delegates for each need to be chosen.  here are the rules: 

Once a governor is randomly selected to lead the National Convention for his or her party, they will evenly distribute all states among the following categories:

Category One: The number of convention/primary delegates from that state will be set equal to their number of electoral votes. 

Category Two:  Number of delegates will be 2x their electoral votes

Category Three:  Number of delegates will be 3x their electoral votes

Category Four: Number of delegates will be 4x their electoral votes

Category Five:  Number of delegates will be 3x their electoral votes for states unless: 1) States have a party pref bias of +2 or higher for the party, then they get 4x their EVs. And 2)  States have a party pref bias for the other party, then they get delegated equal to x2 their EVs.

 

The GOP Convention will be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the Governor of PA @Joe303300 gets picked

The DEM Convention will be held in the town of Salt Lake City, UT and the Governor of Utah @EYates gets picked

I have a graduation tonight, and there is no chance I can finish by Friday morning.  Can we move this to Friday evening instead?  

I might get to mine tomorrow morning but I too wouldn’t mind a Friday evening deadline- super busy right now

We also seem to have a lot of governors and the leading industries seemed to be off, at least for a couple of my states. Didn't want to screw with any of the pages and mess anything up, though.

@ebrk85 I see the issue with the Governors.  For instance the main page says Middle has a gov and I went to his page and do not see governor anyway and to gov states but it is still pulling somehow.  DK has 5 listed but he has only 4.  Bloot is listed with 3 but only has 2.  Eyates is listed with 5 but only has 4. Joe has 5 listed but only 3 Gov.  PMRw is also out of wrack by 2.  I cannot see what is the matter with these but if you can take a look please?

The industries look good to me at a glance.  I know I originially went in and did the rolls last night but then when I had to do linguring again today I had a 5% chance of rolling lead ag in nation so that may have pushed it off kilter.  it should match up next turn but @ebrk85 while you doing the Gov look if you can glance at this too please?

Just a quick look from my phone, it's what Taco said. In the current office column it will count anything listed with Gov as a Gov. So all your Gov career track people are being counted. I always list them at State Exec track to avoid this.
