@BryanRAnderson Amendment removed “In his or her official capacity, make” and changed to simply “Make”

@BryanRAnderson Rope-a-dope

@BryanRAnderson @TravisFain Board members can provide trusted, nonpartisan, voting information that can build confidence and increase voter turnout. Who is served by having fewer voters?

[Martin Ericson @MartinEricson9]

@BryanRAnderson @TravisFain Rep. Blackwell stated turnout should be the responsibility of the political parties. Fine for their supporters but what of their opponents? And who speaks for the unaffiliated?

[Martin Ericson @MartinEricson9]

@will_doran No opportunity for public comment at Election Law committee today. Comment portal opened and closed quickly.

[Martin Ericson @MartinEricson9]

@chriscooperwcu Will be interesting to see how much influence this has.

In Cabarrus multiple days of public comment had little if any impact.

@BryanRAnderson Previously, you could request recordings of house committee meetings, and for a while they were available online. Then you could only access them if you watch them live recently I have subscribed to a service that recorded them.

[Martin Ericson @MartinEricson9]

@BryanRAnderson Great catch. Not readily apparent since passed in December 2024 post-election lame duck session. Thanks, Bryan.

@BryanRAnderson 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@BryanRAnderson Under OPT 2-Perhaps if the Guilford protest uncovers many more eligible voters improperly given ballot without this contest.

@BryanRAnderson Wonder who will hear the protests since this is a multi-county district—counties or state board?

[Martin Ericson @MartinEricson9]

Absentee-by-mail not quite up to 2022 levels but these will still be accepted until close of polls Election Day at the Board of Elections office.
