In an email to at least some Libertarians, LP Vice Presidential candidate Mike Ter Maat has revealed that he is being threatened by the FEC with Federal legal action, because he did not file the legally-mandated personal financial disclosure. For readers less familiar with Federal Elections forms, there are three that are likely to be be relevant. There is the…

He has so advised Harlos. Writing on FaceBook, Keith Thompson, addressing LNC Parliamentarian Richard Brown, posted (slight reformatting relative to FaceBook): Richard Brown – I don’t suppose you have an opinion as to whether such a motion is out of order?
