   2. By February 12, 2024, we NEED 11 electors for the petition. By 30 July, we NEED 10,000 signatures to put a candidate on the ballot since we do not have ballot status. We also NEED a Vice Presidential candidate. The VP and the electors CANNOT be replaced (even if they die!).
   3. Brian C. asked if we can pick our electors and Mark answered that we can use our internal primary/straw poll to allocate electors (using Proportional Representation).
   4. Brian brought up what happened 4 years ago: MA voted to support Hunter/Elias but Hawkins went on the ballot for MA. Maureen brought up how Alaska GP voters went for Jesse Ventura.
   5. Voting platform is Condorcet NOT Civitas! (as i previous said; Civitas cannot be done on line). Condorcet can be done on line-one vote per IP address [in public mode - we used private mode, which has tighter controls - one vote per email address]. (https://civs/civis.us/) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_method)
   6. Mark suggested that we spend next ad com meeting on this. Danica suggested using access codes (even if we have to write them on the postcards) so people will only vote once.
