Thank you Dr. Lark.

I would appreciate it if you could start round two balloting as soon as possible, with only Mattson, Blau and Moulton listed.

Subject: Results:  E-MAIL BALLOT: Selection of LNC Secretary

Dear Chairman Neale:

     I hope all is well with you.  I am writing in my capacity as 
Secretary Pro Tem to provide you and our LNC colleagues with the results 
of the vote to select the secretary of the LNC.  (I apologize that I was 
unable to send this info to you sooner.  I was otherwise engaged last 
night and busy with faculty work today.)

    Text of Motion:

*The vote to select the secretary of the Libertarian National Committee 
will proceed as follows:**
****
**On each ballot, a member of the Committee will cast a vote for at most 
one person on the list of candidates, or cast a vote for "None of the 
Above."  The candidate who receives a majority of the votes cast on a 
given ballot is selected to serve as secretary.**
****
**Should no candidate receive a majority of the votes cast on a given 
ballot, a subsequent ballot will be distributed. Candidates who received 
0 votes on the given ballot will not be included on the subsequent 
ballot.  In addition, of those candidates on the given ballot who 
received at least 1 vote, the person with the fewest votes will not be 
included on the subsequent ballot.**
****
**The voting process will continue until a ballot produces a candidate 
who receives a majority of the votes cast on that given ballot.*

         As of the close of the voting period at 6:35 p.m. EST yesterday 
(Wednesday, Feb. 6), the vote totals are as follows (candidates listed 
in decreasing order of vote totals):

Mattson:  6 votes (Mack, Olsen, Pojunis, Redpath, Visek, Wiener)

Blau:  5 votes (Hinkle, Kirkland, Lark, Neale, Tomasso)

Moulton: 4 votes (Hagan, Myers, Starchild, Vohra)

Johnson:  2 votes (Cloud, Wrights)

The following candidates did not receive a vote:  Blakey, Cooke, Lester, 
MacElroy, McDermott, McDowell, Pellegrino, Reynolds, Roberts

Note:  Mr. Goldstein (Region 3 alternate) voted for Ms. Mattson; his 
vote is superseded by the vote for Ms. Mattson by Ms. Mack.  Ms. Capozzi 
(Region 4 alternate) voted for Mr. Blau; her vote is superseded by the 
vote for Ms. Mattson by Mr. Pojunis.  Dr. Lieberman (Region 4 alternate) 
voted for Ms. Mattson; his vote is superseded by the vote for Ms. 
Mattson by Mr. Wiener.   Mr. Blau (Region 5N alternate) voted for Mr. 
Blau; his vote is superseded by the vote for Mr. Blau by Mr. Tomasso.

     In a message to the LNC-Business list at 7:50 p.m. EST on Jan. 30, 
Paul Frankel (Region 7 alternate) requested that his support for Chuck 
Moulton be noted for the record.  Since Mr. Frankel's statement was not 
in the form of a formal vote, and since Region 7 representative John Jay 
Myers had already cast a vote, I don't know that it is appropriate to 
list a statement of support as a vote. However, since I strongly suspect 
that Mr. Frankel intended his statement to be regarded as a vote for Mr. 
Moulton, I am willing to list it as a vote if there is no objection.

     I request that you and our LNC colleagues review the list of votes 
and associated voters above and the list of voters and vote submission 
dates below to determine whether any corrections are needed.  Please 
note that I shall forward a copy of this message to all candidates 
(except Mr. Blau, who will receive this message as an LNC member) to 
inform them about the vote.

     Please note also that I shall be on the road for the next two days; 
during that time my access to the Internet will be limited. If I receive 
your authorization to distribute a second ballot before I depart, I 
shall do so before departing.  If not, I shall not be able to distribute 
a second ballot until Saturday evening.

     As always, thanks for your work for liberty.  Please do not 
hesitate to contact me if I can be of assistance to you.

     Take care,
     Jim

     James W. Lark, III
     Advisor, The Liberty Coalition
     University of Virginia

     Region 5S Representative
     Secretary Pro Tem
     Libertarian National Committee
