Election Rules Objections
by Ken Moellman 09 Feb '19

09 Feb '19

With the rules adopted by the Elections Committee now posted and visible to the Executive Committee, I would like to ask the Executive Committee to object to the following two rules: Objection #1: 100.1(3)(b) 100.1(3)(b) persons convicted of a Class C or Class D felony, who have had more than 5 years pass since their final discharge from any incarceration and their release from any probation; further, such persons shall be dues paying members of the party to be eligible to vote; Objection rationale: Why are we opening the door to people who have committed felonies that have violated the NAP/SOP? Section (a) covers all felonies and permits that those that do not violate the NAP can get back in, whereas (b) gives a blanket pardon even if they've violated the NAP. So a Class C or Class D sexual offense is now just washed away? Second-Degree Rape is a Class C Felony Sexual Assault in Kentucky, defined as "Being 18 years old or older and having sexual intercourse with someone who is less than 14 years old, or who is mentally incapacitated." Third-Degree Rape is a Class D Felony Sexual Assault in Kentucky, defined as: "Having sexual intercourse with someone in one of the following situations * Victim isn't capable of consenting to the act because of an intellectual disability, * Offender is 21 years old or older and the victim is less than 16 years old, * Offender is 21 years old or older and the victim is less than 18 years old and is lives in the offender's foster family home * Offender is in a position of authority or a position of special trust (defined in section 532.045), the victim is less than 18 years old, and the victim came into contact with the offender because of his or her position, or * Offender is a jailer (or is associated with the Department of Corrections) and knows that the victim is incarcerated, supervised, evaluated, or treated by the Department of Corrections." Objection #2: 400.3 Rationale: 400.3 involves removing a candidate due to platform deviation. This is unconstitutional under Article VI Section 3.E.v which states "The Executive Committee may suggest changes to these items but shall not exercise a veto over the adoption of a particular strategy or particular literature." -- Ken C. Moellman, Jr.

KREF cleanup and 2H-2018 disbursements
by Ken Moellman 07 Feb '19

07 Feb '19

FYI - The 52-page KREF report for the state party is completed. I'm driving to Frankfort this afternoon to ensure it's there before we get a penalty. I have updated the bank depository to reflect our new bank account. I am also submitting the fine to KREF from the 2018-1H report. This should square away all KREF concerns. Now that I have all of this data, I need to put all of the county and district data in, and then I'll be calculating the disbursements for 2018-2H. As a reminder, given the current formula passed in late 2017, affiliates should not be expecting a large check. I also still need D1 to provide an address so I can disburse the 2018-1H to them as well. If nothing else, I'll bring this with me to the state convention. That will wrap up all of the 2018-1H stuff. -- Ken C. Moellman, Jr. LPKY State Party Treasurer

Amendment of agenda at last meeting violates bylaws
by Ken Moellman 06 Feb '19

06 Feb '19

FYI - here's that language I was concerned about when we discussed amending the agenda: "The agenda shall be the agenda that was provided in the notice for the Convention". We had a vote, but the vote did not have the vote threshold of 3/5ths under Bylaw 1200 to waive Bylaw 900.5.8. 900.5.8 The fourth order of business by the Chair shall be presentation of the agenda for additional business. THE AGENDA SHALL BE THE AGENDA THAT WAS PROVIDED IN THE NOTICE for the Convention that was given by the Chair of the Executive Committee of the State Party. The convention body may debate, adopt or amend such agenda, by a simple majority vote. Once adopted, the agenda may not be modified, or its order of business deviated from, except by a motion to suspend the orders of the day, WHICH MUST PASS BY A 2/3 VOTE. And there's also a codified 2/3rds threshold. What if the body wants to make a motion to suspend only be 60%, or 55%, or even 50%? We can't suspend the bylaws, so we can't lower that particular codified threshold even though the body can otherwise adjust any other threshold to suspend. This is creating a restriction on the body outside convention. Again, I suggest that we should gut bylaw 900. At a minimum, the 2/3rds threshold should be removed, and barring other action, the original agenda restored. -- Ken C. Moellman, Jr. LPKY State Party Treasurer
