MEMORANDUM

Posted: November 15, 2023 05:30 PM
From: Senator Jarrett Coleman and Sen. Cris Dush
To: All Senate members
Subject: Ensuring Election Equipment is Adequately Tested
 
Ensuring that election equipment is adequately tested, recording, and reporting results accurately is a fundamental responsibility of County Boards of Election. Earlier this month, voters in Northampton County found themselves questioning the accuracy of their votes due to human error. County Executive, Lamont McClure attributed the failure to “laziness”. 
 
This is completely unacceptable. Voters deserve better.
 
In the near future, we will be introducing legislation to strengthen the equipment testing process that is supposed to occur prior to elections. 
 
We hope you will join us in sponsoring this important legislation.
 


Introduced as SB1293
