[Green-Rainbow] Re: Calling the state about voter registration

[Jeffrey O'Neill]

I called the Sec of State and talked to Michelle Tassinari and asked
her several questions.

1) When does voter registration take effect?

When it is processed by the city/town registrar.  

2) Can we let people register Green on the day of the convention and
participate?

We can, but this opens the possibility for someone to legally object
to the outcome of any decision made at the convention.  However, I
think this is extremely unlikely and that we should allow people to
register that day and participate.

3) Do you have to be registered Green to be on the StateCom?

She essentially read the state law on this and suggested we talk to our 
legal counsel.  The issue is the definition of "party member."  Must it
be a registered voter or can we define it how we want?  Until a lawyer
tells us otherwise, I think we should require StateCom members to be 
registered Green.

4) Are there any state laws regarding our quorum?

No.
