Citation on Youngest Attendee[edit]

Note that Lessig claims the title of youngest, and edited this page as part of a talk at TEXxNYED. Anyone have documentation ;). - Halavais (talk) 20:14, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lessing talks about being the youngest Republic, whereas English claims to be the youngest Pennsylvania delegate or something - different claims.Zerodeconduite (talk) 01:14, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What Lessig (no N) claimed was being the youngest member of a delegation (an alternate, like English) at the 1980 convention. As the convention was July 14, 1980, that means Lessig (no N) was 19. English claims to have been 20. As for citations, no idea. The position is an elected position, but I don't know of any URL to election results in 1980 in PA. lessig (talk) 14:40, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Phil English would've been 24 in 1980 – Lessig would be 19 (as he was born in 1961). So the question is, was Lessig at that Convention? Yes:

"As a teenager, Lessig's goal was not just to comment on law, but to shape it as a politician.

The son of a Pennsylvania steel plant owner, the young Ronald Reagan fan headed the state's Republican teen group. In 1980, he was elected a delegate to the GOP national convention."
