Dear Ms. Cadostin,
I am writing on behalf of the custodian of records for the Missouri Senate regarding your request for records under the Missouri Sunshine Law. One of the terms listed in your request was "EIN". This followed the term "Election Integrity Network". It is my sense that EIN was an abbreviation for Election Integrity Network. However, EIN also is an abbreviation for employer identification number used in federal and state tax law and is thus capturing a number of documents that may not be responsive to the focus of your request. To streamline the review of responsive documents, please let me know if you would like to include any document that includes EIN when used in tax law or if we may determine that such records are not responsive to your request.
Please contact me at this email address or 573-522-7910 if you have any questions or would like to discuss this request further.
Sincerely,
Jim Ertle, Director
Missouri Senate, Division of Research

Ms. Cadostin,
Thanks for your response. I forwarded it to Kristina. Just so we are clear, can you let me know if you would like all responsive documents that include “EIN” when used as an abbreviation for employer identification number. Or can we exclude such documents from the responsive documents?
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
You can exclude "EIN" when used as an abbreviation for employer identification number. Thank you!

Victoria Cadostin,
The Missouri Senate is in receipt of your correspondence dated October 3, 2024 regarding the status of your request.
The Missouri Senate made repeated attempts to deliver records responsive to your request to the following address, 1300 I Street NW, Suite 400E, Washington, DC, 20005, an address you provided via email on July 31st.
Attached to this email you will find documentation from the United States Postal service documenting three failed delivery attempts via certified mail.
The Missouri Senate considers this matter closed unless you can provide an alternative physical delivery address, due to the fact the files are too large to transmit electronically.
Respectfully,
Kristina Martin
Secretary of the Senate
Custodian of Records

Hi Kristina,
Thank you for the update. May I ask if the package was addressed to me by name? If so, that could be why the package was rejected. I can't quite tell from the receipt you attached to your email, but the package would need to be addressed to my workplace "Documented", not to me by name. Thank you again and let me know if you have any trouble sending it to the same address but addressed to "Documented" instead of Victoria. Thank you!
My best,
Victoria C.
From: Missouri State Senate
Good afternoon Victoria,
I have spoken with my administrator and we will send the request out again with “Documented” as the addressee.
I did want to verify that the Washington D.C. address is still the correct address?
I noticed in this email it states that there is a new address in Boston, MA.
Please let me know at your earliest convenience. Thank you!

Hi Kristina,
Wonderful! Thank you so much for working on this matter, I appreciate it. I'm not sure which email you're referring to about the Boston address, but I can confirm that the D.C. address is still accurate. Here it is again, for your convenience. Thank you again! Let me know when the files have been shipped.

Victoria Cadostin,
Attached you will find receipts for attempted delivery of the records you requested. In September, several attempts were made to deliver the records via certified mail. Delivery failed due to a lack of signature.
In December delivery was attempted, however the supporting documentation supports the fact that the United States Post Office has lost the package.
A receipt is also attached showing a final attempt to deliver the requested records, via certified mail, which began on January 14th, to the address you provided.
