Video of RNC Teleprompter Showing Results of Scripted Voting Before Voting Ended

[J. J.]

Scripting a meeting is fairly common for any large (or not so large) meeting.  

Here is the website for two highly regarded professional parliamentarians:

http://www.aipparl.org/Glazer.htm

You'll note that both offer scripting services.

One of their accreditation tests, the lesser one, actually requires the applicant to write a script.  http://www.jimslaughter.com/organizations.htm

It's worth noting that the teleprompter said [GO TO SCENARIO X] for other unlikely events; they apparently even scripted what to do if the chair noted an objection to one of those standard procedural motions that nobody ever objects to. It is a bit telling that there was no alternative teleprompter scenario for the motion failing the voice vote.

They actually had one parliamentarian, with six deputies.  Had something off-script come up, they probably could have handled it.
