Two New Ballot Access Lawsuits Filed
by Oliver Hall 20 May '20

20 May '20

Greetings, We have filed two new emergency actions seeking relief from petitioning requirements due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The first is in Pennsylvania and the second is in Maryland. We have also filed motions for preliminary relief in both cases. We should be having expedited hearings in both cases in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully, we'll win another quick judgment in our favor along the lines of the relief the court ordered in Illinois. -Oliver

Dear LNC, Our contract with Hive Consulting for managing our social media will be ending this month and we will not be renewing. I am envisioning outsourcing to a professional firm that specializes in Social Media based fundraising, but I'm not really thinking about it in depth till post convention. We also welcome Chris Clemence as Development Associate. A member of the Libertarian Party since 2006, Chris has been active in party leadership at the local and state level for the past several years, including serving on the state executive committee of the Texas affiliate and as chairman of his county chapter. Chris holds a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Kansas and a juris doctor from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. When not working to advance liberty, Chris is a freelance writer with bylines from several major publications. --- Daniel Fishman Executive Director The Libertarian Party Join Us <http://www.lp.org/join>

by Tim Hagan 19 May '20

19 May '20

Can https://lnc2020.com/convention/schedule/ be updated with the start times for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday? Yes, I'm predicting that the President nomination will take several rounds, with time for vote and concession speeches between rounds, and an acceptance speech, will push the VP nomination into Sunday. -- Tim Hagan Treasurer, Libertarian National Committee

by Caryn Ann Harlos 19 May '20

19 May '20

Hello all, I have my first draft brief balloting guide for state delegation chairs. Please look over and offer suggestions or corrections. to the Regionals that are acting as tellers, I will be recording a training video for you later today. I will also be asking Dan to set up a private slack channel for us. Ms. Hogarth and Dr. Lark since you two are going to be busy, I have recruited a volunteer to assist region 5. I believe I have someone to pick up region zero and assist the rest. * In Liberty,* * Personal Note: I have what is commonly known as Asperger's Syndrome (part of the autism spectrum).
