Dear Senate Rules and Operations Committee:
Dear Senator Berger and the Senate Rules and Operations Committee:
Cast Vote Records, H770, passed with bipartisan support on 9/20/23. It’s been languishing in your Senate Rules Committee for 15 months. Inexcusable.
2) Cast Vote Records is an essential artifact for post-election audits to reconcile and to restore confidence in our elections (which we still do not have). We don’t trust elections or machines because there is no transparency or oversight.
Was there truly cross over voting from a Republican President to Democrats in the NC cabinet, Senate and House? (You own the NC Election Protest 2024.) You could have fixed this before the 2024 election as we urged, but you did not. Cast Vote Records allows us to see why all of the down ballot candidates lost and protests are being filed! Were there really cross over votes or not? CVRs are the only way to a true forensic audit.
The Federalist recently published NC Republicans Move To Limit Democrat Governor’s Power Over Elections After Likely Losing Supermajority But, The Outgoing North Carolina Governor (Cooper) Vetoes Bill That Would Give GOP More Power. Why would you pass SB382 and not give the Auditor the tools he needs to restore confidence in our election to perform a true forensic audit? The Auditor needs Cast Vote Records. You can pass H770 now while you still have a veto proof majority.
You are going to lose that super majority shortly. Republicans should leave a legacy of Election Integrity and not doubt and mistrust in our elections.
Thank you.
Please address H770 on Monday, December 2, 2024 at 10am.
