I’m waiting for my husband to scan the others so I can upload them. They had been posted on Justin Riggs’ site but he took his blog down. What I have is the same as what Justin had, except that I also have a transmittal letter, which I will also post.
You will see that for 2000
DNC - standard cert with eligibility language added by typewriter
HDP - cert with eligibility language, filed a month after National Convention, received at HI Elections Office the day it was signed.
For 2004
DNC - standard cert no eligibility language
HDP - cert with eligibility language, signed a month after the National Convention
And of course we already know, for 2008
DNC - standard cert with eligibility language added by word processor
HDP - cert with eligibility language removed, received at the HI Elections Office by mail in an envelope with the DNC Cert and a transmittal letter by Joe Sandler
Ok. So, your conclusion that the HDP changed its procedures in 2008 for generating the certification letter is based solely on the fact that they datestamped their letter a month earlier than usual? Is that correct? I’m not talking about the change in language used just the procedural change to which you referred.
Any possibility you could type (here in the comments) the text that the HDP used in their letters from 2000 and 2004, verbatim? Or do we have wait for the scans?
