HB 960 passed out of the Senate with a vote of 32 to 21 on March 27. The content of this bill was originally in SB 568, but after applying public pressure we were able to stop that version before the Crossover deadline. However, the bill authors hijacked bill HB 960 with the language from their major elections overhaul bill. In its current form, this bill shifts audit oversight away from the elected Secretary of State and toward the unelected State Election Board. The bill also expands public posting in ways that raise privacy and security risks, and it asks for major changes in an unrealistically short timeline before elections this November. Tell your Representative: protect voter privacy and keep checks and balances in our election system.
