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.
