[Lnc-business] Ballot Access Petitioning

[Tim Hagan]

NY Governor Cuomo said NY needs to come up with an answer to political
petitioning. "This is not the best time to send people door to door." He
doesn't know the specifics to a solution but knows it's something that
has to be addressed. 

Mr. Fishman sent a letter to the state of Maryland concerning ballot
access petitioning when the government is pushing for social distancing.
We should get proactive with Illinois, Alabama, and other states with
high petitioning requirements (like AR, PA, ME, VA) and work with the
state affiliates to send similar letters to the Governor and election
authority in those states, seeking emergency relief from petitioning
requirements since the party was on the ballot during the last election.
