At the September 4-5, 2021 meeting of the Libertarian National Committee, Caryn Ann Harlos was suspended from her position as Secretary of the national Libertarian Party by a vote of 11-2 with one abstention. Voting "Yes": [[Erin Adams]], [[Whitney Bilyeu]], [[Laura Ebke]], [[Tim Ferreira|TJ Ferreira]], [[Tim Hagan]], [[Susan Hogarth]], [[Chris Luchini]], [[John Phillips]], [[Richard Longstreth]], [[Valerie Sarwark]], and [[David Sexton]]. Voting "No": [[Rich Bowen]] and [[Dustin Nanna]]. [[Ken Moellman]] abstained. Absent: [[Erik Raudsep]] and [[Joshua Smith]] who were both confirmed "no" or "abstain" votes. A controversy arose when alternate [[David Sexton]] showed up after the departure of [[Steven Nekhaila]] who was a confirmed "no" or "abstain" vote without notifying Mr. Nekhaila that he intended to do same. If Mr. Sexton had not appeared, the motion would have failed. Supporters of the motion state that this was perfectly acceptable. Caryn Ann states that it was certainly legal but characterized it as "trickery." [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HApE36cvexk Meeting video is located here].
