<p>Everyone I've talked to about Approval Voting since the convention has been quite negative on it. You're literally the first person to defend it, Caryn. :)</p>
<p>Somewhere between the "don't understand it" and "too easy to game it", and compounded with "ridiculous time to tabulate", Approval Voting is not a good methodology. </p>
<p>I'd personally recommend using IRV for all non-presidential/vp votes. One round, and we can get on with it. And the committee gets filled in appropriately. LPKY does this and it works like a champ.</p>
<p>It's an issue for the Bylaws Committee to consider, anyway.</p>

<p>Alicia,</p>
<p>I understand that you have a ridiculous amount of work to do. As long as it's on the agenda to get published, I think people will be fine.</p>
<p>I'd like to explore a secure mechanism to increase voting efficiency - both the voting and the tallying. </p>

Our standard operating procedure is that alternates freely comment on our email list.<br><br></div>
I know your requests are well intended, but please keep in mind that my post-convention to-do list is extremely long. It includes, but is not limited to:<br>
<ul>
<li>producing minutes for 2 LNC meetings</li>
<li>producing minutes for an EC meeting</li>
<li>generating nomination certificates for SOS offices to place our presidential ticket on the ballot in states where we already have ballot access</li>
<li>updating the bylaws</li>
<li>updating the platform</li>
<li>generating various data sets and articles for LPNews, media inquiries, etc.</li>
<li>producing minutes for the convention which conducted quite a bit of business while I was tabulating election results, so I have my records, an assistant's records, and a pile of slips of paper that were submitted that contain some of those motions, and a bunch of other ideas for motions that were never made</li>
<li>my email inbox is full of lots of requests that I won't get to immediately</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
When the convention minutes are produced, it will contain state-by-state breakdowns of each of the elections. That info will be shared, but it just cannot be at the top of my priority list at the moment.<br><br></div>

<p>I have had 2 of the 4 chairs in Region 3 ask about seeing state totals and possibly even having the state ballots scanned in for Treasurer, At-Large, and Judicial Committee, since these were skipped over due to time constraints and thus there was no ability to contest any results.</p>
<p>I don't know if it's proper for me to speak on this list as an Alternate. I reached out to Brett but he was busy today. And since the issue came up, I thought I'd mention it, since it's topical.</p>
