– both of these amendments were tossed at the last BoD meeting, so we ain’t
gonna see em at the convention. Both
Michele and Michael (at different times) landed on me for these. The general
notion was that LP members could simply not vote for candidates that sucked
wind, no matter how long they had been registered. I guess it could be so, but
I’ve seen the proof in members voting for dead wood just because any candidate
was better than no candidate. One
of the issues brought up which I was convinced was valid was how we dealt with
Libs that had moved here from elsewhere. I’ve figured out a way that might
still make it – change the language to ‘party affiliation’ as opposed to
‘registered members’. If someone came here from Botswana and was a registered
Lib there, then that should be good here as well. I’ll work on it for
tomorrow’s meeting. – Punxsutawney

days prior to the last date on which the party can file its certificate of
