Libertarian Party of Massachusetts 2014 State Convention Election Returns

The Libertarian Party of Massachusetts met in Worcester this past Saturday, electing their new State Committee, as well as to conduct general party business. The State Committee, elected every year, is responsible for managing the day-by-day operations of the Libertarian Party of Massachusetts, as well as electing its leadership. In complying with Party rules, vote counting is to be handled and tabulated by an unbiased observer whom has no official membership with the Libertarian Party.

Once again filling that role, and in the spirit of promoting a healthy civic duty, I assisted in their State Committee election process, and have taken the liberty of listing the convention tabulations here for the sake of keeping a certified public record for the LPMA.
