[Lnc-business] Nomination forms for President and Vice President

[Nicholas Sarwark]

Dear Ms. Harlos,

Your response appears to have avoided answering my question, which I've
repeated again below:

“Is it still the case that the Secretary would object to signing these
certificates of nomination this coming week after the nomination of
President and Vice Presidential candidates in our online convention and in
advance of a second sitting of the convention in Orlando in July?”

Yours truly,
Nick
