[Lnc-business] Motion to assist funding LPKY legal actions - Ballot Access - seeking cosponsors

[Ken Moellman]

To avoid confusion, I want to be sure that both of the Ballot Access
motions below are still currently at 5 co-sponsors. 

Bittner
Harlos
Hayes
Katz
Redpath 

Thank you,
Ken Moellman

I'm going to put this out as two separate motions, and ask for co-sponsors on each. I am much more confident on the $500 than the $2000, and I feel some members may want to consider them separately. I'm also going to leave out how the money is to be delivered; staff can work that out, whether it goes through the party, directly pays the attorney, etc.

A motion has been filed to re-hear the case en banc, since the ruling from the CoA conflicts with previous rulings from the CoA within the same circuit.

Kentucky is one of two states (Washington State is the other, with their law being new as of 5 years ago) with no mechanism to be recognized as a party by any means other than a presidential support test (no party petition, no other office; one test every 4 years).
