[EL] Ravel-Weintraub Petition

[Rick Hasen]

Bob Bauer raised that point in his excellent blog post today 
<http://www.moresoftmoneyhardlaw.com/2015/06/desperate-fec/>:

    A first point—minor but worth considering– is whether this agency
    needs another quirky procedural controversy. What does it mean for
    two Commissioners, one of whom is agency Chair, to dispense with
    their formal roles and petition as citizens, filing a petition on
    plain paper without their titles and just the Commission’s street
    address? Will they recuse themselves from voting on the petition as
    Commissioners? Will they testify before themselves?
