Nebraska GOP convention truce: Paulites say they will behave; GOP says it will call off the dogs; Paulites don't trust rented GOP vote scanners

Faced with the spectre of Ron Paul ruckus-raising, the Nebraska GOP had scheduled increased security at this weekend's Nebraska State GOP Convention in Grand Island. Here's why, as explained by Rachel Maddow:

 
Now the tension has been ratcheted down a few clicks. From the joint statement republished on state GOP Chairman Mark Fahleson's blog:
  • The NEGOP and RLCNE will not engage in nor encourage and will actively discourage any kind of dilatory or disruptive tactics that could interfere with the mutual goal of an orderly and efficient convention.
  • Based upon assurances provided by the RLCNE, the NEGOP has reconsidered and withdrawn its plan to hire additional security officers for the NEGOP Convention.
From the Daily Paul:
Nebraska Republican State Convention Friday, July 13, 2012 at 5:00 PM - Saturday, July 14, 2012 at 7:00 PM (CT) Grand Island, NE
Professional Parliamentarians are more then welcome to come.
The GOP convention will be held, predictably, at Grand Island's Riverside Country Club, 2820 Riverside Drive.

Problems Paul supporters will be facing

1
Jordan McGrain - executive director of the Nebraska GOP
2
Chairman Mark Fahleson (We tried to replace him, but were not successful)
3
Rented ballot-counting machines will be used to count the votes at the convention (See: http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0301/S00166.htm , http://blackboxvoting.com , http://blackboxvoting.org, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_voting#Documented_pr...)

Watch out for Charlie Cheater. He may be there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3l60B0TXpiU&feature=youtu.be

In a joint statement from Mark Fahleson and Laura Ebke, it states that "The RLCNE will discourage those wishing to attend the NEGOP Convention for the purpose of intimidation, agitation or monitoring from attending." I really hope that by "monitoring" they don't mean live streaming or checking if the voting machines counts are accurate. (See: http://www.dailypaul.com/243939/peace-treaty-proposed-with-n...)
