[Lnc-business] LP Puerto Rico motion

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

In principle, I have no problem with this.  And in principle, it doesn't
matter if they have been asked if they want this.  If they don't, they
simply do not pursue affiliation.  If they do, there is a path to do so.

My concern is more to delegate allocation since a part of the calculation
is the vote percent in the last presidential election and territories do
not participate in said elections.

==3. Affiliate Party Delegate Entitlements: Each affiliate party shall be
entitled to send delegates to each Regular Convention on the following
basis: a. One delegate for each 0.14 percent, or fraction thereof, of the
total Party sustaining membership in that affiliate; provided that at least
one such delegate must be a resident of that State or District. b. One
delegate for each 0.35 percent, or fraction thereof, of the votes cast
nationwide for the Libertarian Party candidate in the most recent
presidential election, cast in that affiliate's state.==
