→ HB 6052: Serial (stub) numbers on top of ballots are one of the final barriers to absentee ballot vote fraud, yet 6052 eliminates the requirement for absentee ballots to to have tear-off serial numbers. Plus, it allows for on-demand printing, so counties can take over the voting processes from their local municipalities, with no absentee ballot numbering system to allow clerks to track how many ballots were issued or where they came from.
→ HB 6053 imposes a shortened window of for corrective action, allowing making complaints on polling places, drop box locations, early voting will be inadmissible less than 45 days before an election. Since absentee voting is already in progress during this time frame, remediation of problems will be less likely
→ HB 6055 assaults the authority of local clerks. It takes away local control of clerks to administer elections. Instead, 6055 requires a school district “coordinating committee...to designate the clerk responsible for the school district election.”
→ HB 5551 prohibits “an individual from being a member of the board of state canvassers” or “board of county canvassers if that individual has been convicted of an election-related offense” but does specify what such an offense looks like. Some are concerned this could be weaponized to keep good, qualified candidates away from the positions that verify and certify the integrity of our elections.
These bills have already passed the House, and if passed by the Senate today, will head to the Governor’s desk for signature.
