[Lnc-business] Motion to Amend the Ballot Access Budget

[Nicholas Sarwark]

Dear All,

The good news is that we are still on track to have our Presidential
candidate on all 50 state ballots and the District of Columbia.  The
bad news is that it cost more than we had anticipated at our July
meeting.  At that meeting the Ballot Access budget was increased to
$340,000.  We have presently spent approximately $381,000 on ballot
access, which exceeds our budgetary authority as well as the 10%
overage allowed by the policy manual.

There are petitioners who are working at present in Kentucky, which is
the last state with an active petition drive.  It is my intent to
continue to pay the petitioners while this email ballot is pending.
My apologies for not requesting this budget increase earlier, things
moved very quickly with NY/OH/CT/NH/DC all going at the same time.

I would like to request an email ballot for a motion to increase the
ballot access budget to $390,000.

Yours truly,
Nick
