Voting block argues over how to dole out votes

Giving new meaning to back room politicking, the renew.m group spent the recess arguing what to do with their block of votes. A man with a megaphone, who said he was running the floor operation for the group, said the three remaining candidates were scrambling for the group's votes. "Margaret (Kelliher) is literally walking here (now)," he told the group of more than a hundred. Kelliher then appeared. "I ask for your support. . . I deeply respect whatever decision you make," she said, and left to loud applause. Meanwhile, Renew.mn officials announced that If the group does not back a candidate by 60 percent, there will not be a consolidation of the group's votes.
