=== Electronic and Absentee Voting===


On March 31, 2022, less than two  months prior to the convention, [[LNC Region 4 2020-2022|LNC Region 4]] Representative [[TJ Ferreira]] issued an email which seemed to many to indicate that a decision had been made by the [[Convention Oversight Committee 2020-2022]] to implement electronic voting using his own [[Porcupine Voting]] software and seemed to argue that nothing in the Party governing documents prevented absentee voting.  [[Caryn Ann Harlos]] immediately issued a series of critical personal opinion videos on his assertions and apparent proposal<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dfzpd9kCLSk Here it is! The LNC and CoC attempting to hijack the convention, I told you it was coming!], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnXTccykikk The Convention Con-Job Part 2 - Richard Longstreth Shills and Misses the Point or does he?], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlACmRPwt8g The Convention Con-Job Part 3 - Erin Adams tells a fib about me], and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rhajc8X9JIk The Convention Con-Job Part 4 - The Great Walk Back!]</ref>.  Later, [[TJ Ferreira]] appeared to walk back many of the perceived assertions in the original email that this was a certain plan but framed the idea as the beginning of a discussion.  The complete email chain [https://groups.google.com/a/lp.org/g/lnc-business/c/SD8IjaAS-N8 can be viewed here].

A source which wishes to remain anonymous has reported that after the public outcry the item (using the Porcupine software) died in Committee for several reasons.  Using it for speaker lists was not desired by National Party Chair [[Whitney Bilyeu]] and the motion by [[Alex Flores]] to use it for credentialing and voting died for lack of second.
