[Lnc-business] COVID-19 Issues

[Oliver Hall]

Greetings,

The Libertarian Party of Illinois has filed a case seeking waiver of 
Illinois' petitioning requirements, /Libertarian Party of Illinois et al 
v. Pritzker/, No. 1:20-cv-02112 (N.D. Ill.). Our motion for temporary 
restraining order and preliminary injunction is pending. The Court just 
scheduled a hearing on the motion for Friday, April 17 at 9:30 AM.

Also, in Texas, the Governor and Secretary of State agreed to suspend 
the requirements that LPTexas hold its convention in-person on April 18. 
LPTexas is permitted to reschedule the convention for a later date 
and/or to hold it online, as necessary during the public health crisis.

I know there are other states where the LP is facing similar issues. We 
had a call to discuss those states but I encourage those directly 
involved to follow up with me as the situation develops.

Thanks,

Oliver
