<p class="v1MsoNormal">To all,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal"> Sorry for posting the March report a month late. I did give a brief verbal report at the emergency meeting and forgot about the formal one last month. For ballot access, we have spent to date $6,250 in agreement with the Redpath campaign to share costs for paid petitioning. $3,125 was spent in April and another $3,125 has been spent this month. I had recorded 2 generous donations earmarked for ballot access specifically totaling $2,026.12. I consider these funds spent as we have spent more than that to date. Additional spending will be allocated from general donations. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal"> I also want to ask something from all the board members tonight and really all Libertarian Party members. <u>June 26 is primary day</u> and we Libertarians have a golden opportunity to petition outside of these poling locations. I do not know how many signatures we may get BUT gathering signatures outside of the poling place could yield fantastic results. I would ask that all Libertarian Party members take Primary Day off to stand outside of a polling precinct and gather signatures. Most downstate counties do not have enough people to canvass outside the precinct so we should not have any confrontations provided we are <u>100 feet away from the polling place</u>. If the precinct is on private property, the property owner may ask us to leave so its best to use precincts that are public property such as schools or fire departments. I would be happy to assist any and all chairs with finding the largest voting locations (ie. Multiple precincts) for their volunteers. Ideally, no more than 4 volunteers at a location but I don't want a group of lone rangers either. I personally will be doing this so I'm not asking any party member to do something I am not willing to do myself.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">May 19 is the start of Early Voting in Illinois. All early voting locations will be at the clerk's office until at least June 1 if not later. Cook will start having early voting campuses around June 3 (due to ward maps) and suburban counties a bit after that. MOST downstate counties will not have additional early voting locations. If possible, I would also ask that party members be willing to give up a lunch break and petition at the county clerk's office for 1 or 2 days a week during early voting. If you don't know where that is, I can provide that information as well. I personally will be doing this.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal"> I'd like to remind you that I am a resource for your canvassing and election efforts. I have each statewide result and general assembly result broken down by precinct. If you want to go door to door for signatures, I can give you a list of voters that avoids bad demographics for us AND help <u>you</u> identify which precincts to canvas. Ideally, we want to canvas in precincts with high past LP votes. This is particularly true where the LP ran candidates in 2020 against incumbent Democratic candidates. Republicans in these precincts see the LP as "willing to do something" where the GOP refuses to do so as the district is too gerrymandered to be competitive. "Doing something" means they are more likely to sign particularly since the GOP primary is a mess and they can't be guaranteed the candidate they prefer. Again<u></u><u></u></p>
