[Lnc-business] LP Presidential Debates c/o Arvin Vohra

[Sam Goldstein]

I will oppose this motion.  The LNC and the LP have no ability nor 
desire to regulate organizations staging POTUS debates such as
state parties or caucuses.  We also don't have staff time nor the 
technology to make the guarantees in #3.

Please don't co-sponsor this poorly written attempt to force LNC 
standards and regulations on others.
