Subject: [Lnc-business] Motion to Amend the Ballot Access Budget<br>

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