Seeking Co-Sponsors for Policy Manual Amendment regarding Electronic Mail Voting
by Justin O'Donnell 16 Feb '19

16 Feb '19

Colleagues, Given the recent situation, caused partially by my own actions, I'm proposing the following Policy Manual Amendment to clarify for the future explicitly how to handle the situation. Section 1.04 ELECTRONIC MAIL BALLOT PROCEDURES 1) Electronic Mail Ballots Notification of an electronic mail ballot shall be made by the Secretary by electronic mail. This notification shall not include an accompanying argument for or against passage of the motion. An LNC Member may change their vote on an electronic mail ballot, provided that the change is received by the Secretary by the deadline for return of ballots. (Inserting the Following Language) In the event that a Regional Representative casts an explicit abstention in lieu of a yes or no vote, this shall be counted as a vote for the purposes of determining whether or not a Regional Alternate’s vote is counted, but not counted as a vote for the purposes of determining the threshold of passage for a motion. -- Yours in Liberty, Justin O'Donnell LNC Region 8 Representative Chair- LPNH Platform Committee www.justinodonnell.me Renew your membership today at https://www.lp.org/wethepeople/?f=jod !

Fwd: lnc business list

Please see correspondence from Mr. Moulton. I would note though that we also have a reflector list at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/lncvotes Which I do think fulfills the bylaws requirement. However, it is my experience the google list is not always complete. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Chuck Moulton <chuck(a)moulton.org> Date: Thu, Feb 14, 2019 at 6:45 PM Subject: lnc business list To: Ken Moellman <ken.moellman(a)lp.org> Cc: Caryn Ann Harlos <Caryn.Ann.Harlos(a)lp.org>, Joe Bishop-Henchman < joe.bishop-henchman(a)lp.org> The LNC Business List now has been unreadable for several weeks. Is a solution forthcoming? Or should I be emailing the full LNC that they are not following the bylaws by having an unreadable list? This is clearly by choice. The LNC has repeatedly had a readable list, then flipped a switch to make it unreadable. -Chuck Moulton Sent from my iPhone -- * In Liberty,* *Libertarian Party and Libertarian National Committee Secretary *- Caryn.Ann.

Fwd: Point of order regarding abstention and alternate voting
by Caryn Ann Harlos 14 Feb '19

14 Feb '19

I do not know if Mr. Wiener's email reached everyone so I am forwarding it here. I will be starting the appeal ballot later today - finishing up a few others first. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Daniel Wiener <wiener(a)alum.mit.edu> Date: Thu, Feb 14, 2019 at 2:13 AM Subject: RE: Point of order regarding abstention and alternate voting To: <LNC(a)libertarianparty.info> Let me provide some historical context on this matter, since I was responsible for some of the relevant wording in the Bylaws: ARTICLE 13: ELECTRONIC MAIL BALLOTS Boards and committees may transact business by electronic mail. The chair or secretary shall send out electronic mail ballots on any question submitted by the chair or cosponsored by at least 1/5 of the members of the board or committee. The period for voting on a question shall remain open for seven days, unless all members have cast votes, or have stated an intention to abstain or be absent during the voting period, by electronic mail to the entire board or committee. Votes from alternates will be counted, in accordance with previously defined ranked order, in the absence of the corresponding committee member(s). The outcome of each motion shall be announced promptly and recorded in the minutes of the next meeting. The number of votes required for passage of any motion shall be the same as that required during a meeting. Motions dispensed through electronic mail ballots satisfy the requirement of giving previous notice. This Bylaw was carefully worded so as to allow voting to conclude in less than seven days when time was of the essence. It allowed for the possibility that an LNC member might wish to explicitly "abstain" but still not hold up potential early completion of the balloting. This explicit abstention would thus preclude an alternate from voting in the member's place, since otherwise the LNC would still have to wait until the end of the seven day period in case the alternate might choose to vote at the last minute. A second option would be for the member to explicitly declare an "absence", thus allowing the alternate to vote in his or her place (and also permitting the alternate to potentially complete the balloting in less than seven days). That's why Article 13 distinguishes between an abstention and an absence. A third option would be for the member to do nothing, in which case an alternate's vote, if cast, would count but only at the end of the seven day period after the member had failed to cast a vote. In the current situation, Justin O'Donnell stated that he was abstaining, which thereby precluded Jeff Lyons' vote from being counted. Perhaps that was not Justin's intention, in which case he should have stated either that he would be "absent" from the voting or else he could have clarified that his abstention was actually for the purpose of allowing Jeff to vote. It's unfortunate that Justin and Jeff (and perhaps other members) may not have been aware of this nuance of Article 13. However, I think that Caryn is correct in reporting that the final tally was 10-3-1, and that only 13 valid votes were cast, thus achieving the required 3/4 threshold to pass. That is the way we have previously interpreted this Bylaw and how we have treated explicit abstentions. I believe the Chair's ruling is incorrect and should be overturned on appeal.
