## Resource

North Carolina State Auditor Dave Boliek defends House Bill 958, which would require his office to audit election processes statewide, calling it a common-sense step for transparency—not an expansion of power. He argues the governor already holds election oversight authority and dismisses criticism as politically motivated, insisting there’s no crisis in election integrity. The audits would focus on administration—not vote totals—like ballot security and voter registration, aiming to catch issues early. While the bill includes other election reforms, its passage has stalled as lawmakers seek more revisions. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
