<br>
The good news is that we are still on track to have our Presidential<br>
candidate on all 50 state ballots and the District of Columbia. The<br>
bad news is that it cost more than we had anticipated at our July<br>
meeting. At that meeting the Ballot Access budget was increased to<br>
$340,000. We have presently spent approximately $381,000 on ballot<br>
access, which exceeds our budgetary authority as well as the 10%<br>
overage allowed by the policy manual.<br>
<br>
There are petitioners who are working at present in Kentucky, which is<br>
the last state with an active petition drive. It is my intent to<br>
continue to pay the petitioners while this email ballot is pending.<br>
My apologies for not requesting this budget increase earlier, things<br>
moved very quickly with NY/OH/CT/NH/DC all going at the same time.<br>
<br>
I would like to request an email ballot for a motion to increase the<br>
ballot access budget to $390,000.<br>
<br>
Yours truly,<br>
Nick<br>
