Security just cleared the room before the vote could happen. I didn’t see that coming. Bomb threat?

That was really strange. What the hell?

Just to make my comment a little bit more useful, here's a clip of the moment when security advised everyone to take a break: https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/941365229841272832

Their was some loud voices there at the very end, but I couldn't catch what they were saying

"I need everyone to leave everything that you have in place – do not take anything out of here except for your bodies – I don’t wanna see any bags, books or anything."

As and after he says this, all the visible attendees gather their belongings before heading to the exit.

Because who doesn't want to leave their $2K+ camera laying around for security goons to mess with. That said, when a potential bomb threat or other security issue has been called just leave the bag and get out of the room - your life isn't worth your belongings (even if 99% of the time stuff like this is just a false alarm).

That's one way to delay the vote...

CBSN has a live feed showing the empty room after it was apparently cleared by security.

They brought in dogs to search the room, then let everybody back in. Pretty safe guess that was a credible bomb threat.

Especially considering 4chan was sending Pai's home a pizza every half hour for a while, if Twitter is to be believed.
