Progressives Against Voter Integrity Bill

In a surprise to this blogger, the Williamson County Elections Administrator, testified against the proposed election integrity bill, SB9. Senate Bill 9

Chris Davis, president of the Texas Association of Election Administrators, said the bill would turn away hard-to-get poll workers and election judges because of the added regulations placed on them that must be followed or risk criminal punishment.

The original SB9 would require a paper trail for recount or audit purposes and would explicitly disallow the Secretary of State from waiving state election law. The substitute bill under consideration by the Texas house did not include these provisions. Yet the Association of Election Administrators still testified against the bill passage.

Maybe it's time to consider election of Election Administrators instead of appointment by the county commissioners!

Integrity in our elections is fundamental to preserving our republic and the rights of individuals!
