[Lnc-business] One-Question LP Convention Survey

[Alicia Mattson]

As with the debate tokens we sent out before, it might take 24 hours for
some of these to pop out of the internet and into people's inboxes.  The
deadline is tomorrow evening, so there's time for that to happen.  As
always, if an email isn't in an inbox, look in spam, even look in the trash
folder as some people found the debate tokens there.

I used the list after the Credentials Committee's final meeting, and though
debate tokens only went to delegates, this attendance question was sent to
delegates and alternates on that list.  It will not, of course, have the
three names added on the final day.

It's not a vote/token that determines or heavily influences our
presidential nominees.  A handful of the alternates' email addresses had
similar issues to what I previously described with the delegates email
addresses, however I'm not going to spend the extensive amount of time I
did before to make sure that everyone gets to participate.  As I suggested
last night, the goal here is to get a solid representative sample, and then
extrapolate the results to the whole.  We've already got a really great
response rate, so I think in the end we'll have reasonable confidence in
what to expect.

The decisions the COC makes on Thursday night about financial risks will be
much more informed with less guessing.
