The Platform Committee presented a report offering many options -- a number of proposals to replace the entire Platform with something else, and a number of amendments of the traditional sort to individual planks. The convention was asked to select one of the options to be considered first, and the proposal to replace the entire Platform with the national Platform had the most support. But this proposal did not have enough support to actually be adopted, and the convention recessed without considering any of the other options. Another proposal made on the last day to make a minor change to one plank also failed. So the net result was no change to the Platform. | The Platform Committee presented a report offering many options -- a number of proposals to replace the entire Platform with something else, and a number of amendments of the traditional sort to individual planks.
