In this case, it was two days fully sponsored before a ballot started. More than enough time. Which is why I agree with Mr Goldstein that the late in the game ruling was not legitimate. I’m appealing as it’s quicker than arguing about the legitimacy of waiting four days after becoming aware of the the motion to rule on it.

THIS, the issue that Mr Hagan identifies, has also long bothered me. We’ve faced this same issue at the state level. There’s no way in a ftf meeting that a motion can just *appear* and be voted on without any guidance from the Chair. That’s what the Chair is *for* imo. Perhaps our procedure should be tweaked to require that the Chair promote a motion to ‘voting’ status within a certain time of it gaining the correct sponsorship. This will give the Chair an opportunity to rule it out of order if he feels it to be so.

With our e-mail ballot procedure, the Secretary, not the Chair, states
and puts the question before the body. We've had instances where co-sponsors send their sponsorships privately to the Secretary, or co-sponsors and the Secretary react quickly, making it very possible for voting to start before the Chair has a chance to read the motion. --- Tim Hagan Treasurer, Libertarian National Committee On 2020-06-12 04:47, Sam Goldstein via Lnc-business wrote: > How is it possible for the Chair to rule a motion out of order after > voting on it has begun? > > ---
