Sponsors for these new bills needed:
Absentee by Mail - The new bill would eliminate “no excuse” absentee voting and return to requiring an approved “reason” to qualify for absentee voting to prevent abuse of ballot harvesting and the risks of absentee by mail ballot fraud.
Legal Standing for Residents and State Legislature to Sue - The new bill would allow the state legislature to sue state officials and allow residents to bring action in court to enforce election laws.
Consent Judgements, Settlement Agreements – Enact Senate Bill 360 that was vetoed in the last session by the Governor. Changes to state law via court settlements would require approval of the state legislature.
