Starchild has been asking for this to be addressed for several days. I am forwarding it to the LNC list on his behalf. -Alicia ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Starchild <sfdreamer@earthlink.net> Date: Fri, May 22, 2020 at 8:49 PM Subject: Re: Can ANYONE tell me whether my votes are being counted?

Nick said during the meeting this evening that they'd try to get this fixed for tomorrow. That's essentially the same message I got *days ago*, that I'd be able to participate. But I'd like to know *how* that's going to happen, and be in the loop on that conversation. Not have my communications ignored and then find it's still not working! And what about my votes for today? Were they counted? When an online convention was being considered by the LNC, was it ever stated by anyone that duly elected delegates would be disenfranchised over technological issues, and that it was fine to proceed with it anyway? I again request that my representative or alternate, Jeff Hewitt or Tim Ferreira, forward this message to the LNC list. If one of them does not do so or respond promptly, then I make the same request of the other LNC members and alternates step in and do so.

That is not currently happening. I am a legitimate elected delegate and am being *knowingly disenfranchised*. It's a good thing for the party that I do not believe in people suing the LP over stuff like this! I request that someone be designated to receive my votes and ensure they are counted. And confirmation that the chair can now see me "raise my hand" via phone, and recognize me in the queue like everyone else.

Yet I have not received information on how to vote, and cannot do so. I also cannot seem to get recognized by the chair. I AM MISSING VOTES AND BEING DISENFRANCHISED. Will someone who is on Zoom please seek to be recognized by the chair and get this issue addressed? This is just *one* of the reasons I think this online session is inappropriate. Alicia Mattson is right – it is unauthorized by the bylaws, and this kind of technical issue is one of the reasons why that is a sound rule!
