A petition from Arizona was rejected, after evidence was presented that there were irregularities in that state's temporary organization. A petition from Wisconsin was approved subject to resubmission with signatures, rather than typed names. A motion by some California LP members to remove recognition from the currently recognized organization, headed by [[Alan Coon]], and accept a petition from their group instead, was rejected. It was voted that in the future, petitions for affiliation cannot be submitted until a state convention has been held, at which the National LP [[Statement of Principles]] is endorsed, officers elected, and a state Constitution and By-Laws adopted. This will hopefully eliminate problems of the type which arose in the Arizona and California situations. | A petition from [[Arizona Libertarian Party|Arizona was rejected]], after evidence was presented that there were irregularities in that state's temporary organization.
