Allen, Bill, Myers and others discuss naming a statewide slate with Sam Lewis for governor and Jason Tisley as lieutenant governor, aiming to win through racial misdirection. The note mentions petitioners, circulars, and target counties, warning against Republican outreach while courting Black voters.
