Following the vetting meeting, the pertinent results are posted for viewing by all other affiliated groups in the state. (The PVC website, “patriotvoting.com,” will have a secure page for doing this) This posting also specifies at least a seven (7) day period of time for groups to finally review the meeting results to determine their own vetting of the specific candidates and offices under consideration.
Ideally, some video recording of the major candidate presentations would be made at the meeting and provided for viewing by all affiliated groups in the state. This is especially useful in major statewide races, such as for governor or US Senate.
During the specified review period, groups are encouraged to actively communicate and resolve differences, if necessary, to bring about as much unity in their debate and discussion of the vetting results from the meetings. Hopefully, this discussion results in strong consensus vetting for all candidates under consideration.
It is strongly recommended to limit group vetting to only those candidates who qualified for participation in the vetting meeting by having submitted their formal applications and questionnaires. This limitation helps to confine the process to a feasible number of candidates whose records and positions are known by all.
The groups vote as they desire on each vetting result; and, voting results are posted for viewing by other groups. The initiating group, or other designated person, tallies the votes, 1 per group, and announces the results after the seven (7) day period for review, discussion, and discussion. Consensus decision-making is maintained during this process, as set forth in the initial vetting procedures (PVC #1)
