Chair's Reply to Tiffany Briscoe

By: southernpatriot

On January 14, I requested that Tiffany Briscoe clarify whether or not she had falsely represented herself to the Party.

Two statements have been issued by her campaign; one of which was issued by someone on her behalf, the other re-written by Ms. Briscoe. She wrote, “What started as a simple misunderstanding... grew into a misrepresentation of the truth.
“... I want to say that I apologize for ignoring the importance of such a major detail in my background, as well as to Chairman Perry, who may have been accused wrongly for my wrongdoings.”

Polling issues for current nat-com at-large election

By: inDglass Tags:

Attention all members,

Updates to the Drupal software have made it nearly impossible for us to post a poll with approval voting, as our bylaws require. The controversy following our last convention was caused by this issue.

While attempting to fix the problem with the current election for the vacant at-large seat, our chair, Darryl, posted a series of polls which were also no structured in accordance with the bylaws. I got creative, and figured out a temporary fix, which is here: http://bostontea.us/node/889
