This is a request from the affiliate and delegate chair of the Libertarian
Party of Utah to be provided the state-by-state breakdown of votes for at
large representatives to the Libertarian National Committee.

I make this request because of the errors discovered in various affiliate
votes in election for other officers and the and the various revisions to
Prior votes uncovered by Chuck Moulton in his report and corrected at the
last meeting of the prior LNC.

I would urge the LNC, if it has not done so already, to delay the
appointment of the bottom 3 for at largeL representative until after a
thorough review and verification of the ballots can be conducted.

This is also request for a policy to be established that no one running for
an office be tasked with the responsibility of counting or being involved
in any way in the process of tallying the votes, or handling the ballots,
for the office for which they are running.

I want to be clear that I have the highest respect the past secretary and
this is in no way a accusation of impropriety.   I am, however fully aware
that the emotions involved in running can cause, at least for me, a
challenge and remaining fully mentally acute.  I also believe it's
important to preserve the appearance of a pristine process so that others
without a similar respect have no grounds for accusations of impropriety.

I also note with interest the one vote difference under the current report
between the fifth highest and sixth highest vote-getter for At Large out of
about 500 ballots, and thousands of votes cast.

Thanks,
