RE:
Request that the Board waive the $60 campaign finance late fee assessed against Evelyn Ware-Jackson, a candidate for Member of School Board, District 5, East Baton Rouge Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 1 day late.
Facts:
Evelyn Ware-Jackson states that on the evening of the November 28, 2018 at 15 minutes before midnight she began the online submission process of her report. However, the process took several minutes to complete the transfer with an icon spinning for several minutes. She doesn't know why the process stalled, whether it was due to high online traffic at that time or whether her home internet service had a temporary malfunction. It finally confirmed submission at two minutes after midnight but no time stamp was in the confirmation email, only the date of the 29th.
