Roland, South Dakota's coming along well. There are new developments
in interpreting the rules nearly daily, so it's a bit of a roller
coaster, but I don't need you to send new petitioners, at least so
far. If the situation changes and requires more help, I'll let you
know and appreciate your help. <br>
<br>
Regarding moving expenses, I'm sure well over 200 man-hours have
been wasted on this controversy that was manufactured by a few using
one phrase in my contract while ignoring the other phrases in my
contract and all the written evidence suggesting the LNC did expect
to pay my moving expenses and did actually approve each expenditure
along the way. I'd like to thank the LNC for ratifying all of the
expenses (again I guess) -- Alicia Mattson was the only vote against
ratifying those expenses. <br>
<br>
Yes, we got publicity from the Oklahoma turn-in. See blog and
attached print image.<br>
<br>
I don't have time to help with the technical details of the election
rule details in North Dakota--I worked 12 hour days each of the last
two weekends--I'm copying Carla Howell, our political director, to
help you out with that, or to find someone to help you.<br>
<br>
If she, or whomever she delegates this to, doesn't come up with a
zero-cost or near zero cost option for you, then let me know and
I'll get involved. <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>

were able to resolve your moving expenses. I thought it was
unusual enough to review, but I thought you had a good case so
voted to support you after that review. Generally, I am for
reviewing unusual expenditures, but do not like making staff
pay back unless it was outright fraud. So, I give the benefit
of any doubt to the staff (usually). Sorry for the hassle
though, as I know the job you have must be a real pain in the
arse sometimes, and I certainly appreciate your efforts.</div>

we finally resolved our governor candidate issue in ND, so
that should be no problem and I fully expect we will maintain
ballot status after the election. (99% certain) Should be a
land-mark year for ND Libertarians and we should have a full
state-wide slate.</div>

<div dir="ltr">One question, ND has laws regulating the major
parties, such as requiring precinct caucuses, etc., I suppose
that is the same in most other states as well. But once we
get ballot status, does that mean we have to follow all those
minute party procedures? For instance, precinct caucuses
must be advertised in the newspapers, but if we did that, we
would be broke in no time. How have other states handled
this?</div>
