Election Security Updates

The New York Times has an article this week that details the lengths former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen went to focus the Administration on the efforts DHS was making to prepare for new and different Russian forms of interference in the 2020 election. According to The Times, Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney told Nielsen not to bring it up with the president.

Current Administration officials, including Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence said, “Election security is and will continue to be one of our nation’s highest national security priorities.”

2020 Candidates on Election Issues

New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D) has sent a letter to all 2020 Democratic presidential candidates asking all of them to sign a petition opposing House Bill 1264 that would require college students to be a permanent resident of the state to vote. Currently, New Hampshire does not require registered voters to prove residency — only to prove “domicile.” Several of the 2020 candidates including Kamala Harris, Corey Booker, Amy Klobuchar, Kristen Gilibrand and Beto O’Rourke have already come out in opposition to the law.

Election News This Week

New Haven, Connecticut, which has long been plagued by long lines and late results, is putting thousands of dollars on the line to figure out how to fix its Election Day problems. According to the New Haven Register, the city has already spent $21,284 for an analysis and recommendations by Daniel Penn Associates LLC on how to avoid what transpired Election Day 2018 in the future. The recommendations from this report include: Improve the skill set of longtime staff, eliminate pre-registration, extend the amount of training and boost the total number of workers. The city is spending an additional $50,000 on a three-month study by Gem Consultants LLC that will help the city come up with new protocols to conduct elections.

The 2019 New York City Charter Commission has issued a preliminary staff report recommending that the city move to a ranked choice voting system allow for up to 10 candidates to participate for each office. In the report, the commission contends that  the change would save taxpayers money for costly runoff elections, such as the nearly $11 million 2013 runoff for public advocate. AMNY notes that the report acknowledges that RCV could prove problematic including “ballot exhaustion,”  in which candidates may be removed because some voters did not rank them, and confusion about the new system among the electorate. The commission said if the city did implement the new system it would require a ballot redesign and a strong educational outreach to the public.

Amendment 4 Update: While Florida legislators continue to wrangle over limitations to what ex-felons may or may not regain their right to vote since the approval of Amendment Four, the Tampa Bay Times said a review of the state’s voter rolls says the rolls are growing. According to the paper, The Division of Election website shows the state recorded a net increase of 16,354 voters, after 150,015 inactive voters were removed from the list between January and March 31. At this point in the election cycle four years ago, election supervisors reported a net increase of 7,030 voters after 63,985 names had been scrubbed from registration lists. “I think it’s because of Amendment 4,” Mark Earley, Leon County Supervisor of Elections told the paper. “People are just starting to hear about a presidential election coming up. We’ll see a much bigger jump this time next year as the presidential preference approaches in March.”

NC9 Update: Early voting kicked off this week in the do-over of the North Carolina 9th Congressional District contest that was voided earlier this year after it was determined that election fraud interfered with the race in 2018. Early-voting sites are open through May 10 in the district’s eight counties. Six counties have just one early-voting site open on weekdays during regular business hours. Mecklenburg County has seven sites. Bladen County, which was at the heart of the election fraud scandal in 2018, had to do some last-minute changing to curbside early voting after it was discovered that the original location was too close to the board of elections as defined by state statute. The primary is May 14.

Personnel News: Elizabeth Ybarra is the new Grimes County, Texas elections administrator. Cal Griffiths is the new Wasatch County, Utah clerk/auditor. Laura Bruns is the new Miami County, Ohio elections director. George Gilmore has resigned from the Ocean County, New Jersey board of elections. New Mexico Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver announced her candidacy for the U.S. Senate.

Legislative Updates

Federal Legislation: Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Maryland) has introduced the Democracy Restoration Act of 2019 that would automatically restore the voting rights in federal election to formerly incarcerated individuals once they have completed the terms of their sentences.

Connecticut: By a 125-24 vote, the House has approved a bill that would allow the Nutmeg State to offer early voting. The bill would allow voters to cast their ballot at least three days before an election. A binding early voting referendum would be placed on the ballot in 2020. The earliest it could be implemented is 2022.

Florida: Senate Bill 230 and House Bill 131 would require that each county supervisor of elections enters into an agreement with the clerk of the circuit court to receive, on a monthly basis, a list of potential jurors who have identified themselves as undocumented immigrants.

By a 71-45 vote, the House has approved a bill that would require formerly incarcerated residents to pay all court fines, fees and restitution before their rights can be restored.

Hawaii: A House-Senate conference committee has advanced House Bill 1248 that would create a statewide vote-by-mail system and extend the time early voting locations are open in each county.

Louisiana: Sen. Troy Carter (D-New Orleans) has introduced a bill that would automatically register people to vote when they apply for a driver’s license or non-driver ID. Residents would have the option to opt out of voter registration.

Maine: House Speaker Sara Gideon (D-Freeport) has introduced a bill that would allow Mainers to be automatically registered to vote when conducting business with the state. Gideon’s bill is loosely modeled after Oregon’s legislation.

Nevada: The Assembly has approved Assembly Bill 431 which would automatically restore the voting rights to felons once they have completed the terms of their sentence.

New Hampshire: The Senate is debating House Bill 611 which would allow for no-excuse absentee voting. The legislation, which passed the House by a 198-163 vote is opposed by the secretary of state and the city and town clerks’ association.

The Senate is also debating a bill that would create a commission to “celebrate and safeguard” New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary. The bill was approved by the House. Secretary of State Bill Gardner is opposed to the bill.

North Carolina: Under House Bill 944, paying or receiving payment for a completed absentee ballot request form a Class 2 misdemeanor. The bill also would require county elections officials to keep a log of who submits absentee ballot requests and calls for appropriating $345,000 a year to pay for three more investigators and two more data analysts for the State Board of Elections to check on possible cases of election fraud.

Ohio: Secretary of State Frank LeRose (R) announced this week he will work with the Legislature to establish automatic voter registration when Ohioans submit their information through a variety of state agencies, not just the department of motor vehicles.

Tennessee: By an 85-9 vote, the House has approved a bill to allow Monroe, Wilson and Williamson counties to participate in a pilot program to allow for “convenience voting” or vote centers. Currently only Rutherford County is participating in the pilot.

Vermont: The House has advanced a proposed charter change that will allow the city of Montpelier to include noncitizens on its voter rolls for local elections. “Local issues should be voted on by the local community,” Montpelier Mayor Anne Watson said. “And everyone who is part of that community should have the ability to participate in decisions that affect their community.” It’s estimated that fewer than a dozen people would be added to the local voter rolls.

Washington: All 38 county auditors have signed onto a letter seeking to pressure the state Legislature to pay its “fair share” of election costs. Currently the state is only required to pay a prorated share of the costs of the primary and general in odd-numbered years. “The state Legislature has decided to ‘dine and dash’ during even years, when the vast majority of their state offices are on the ballot. Despite being given multiple opportunities to do the right thing and change the law, the state instead sticks your cash-strapped county government with the bill,” Cowlitz County Auditor Carolyn Fundingsland said in a release.

Legal Updates

Tennessee: Brian Hodge, a former Monroe County Sheriff’s Office deputy has been given five years of probation after being charged with witness tampering, conspiracy to commit voter fraud, five counts of vote buying and witness tampering. All those charges but one were dropped when he agreed to plea to a charge of conspiracy to commit voter fraud.

Wisconsin: Common Cause Wisconsin has filed a federal lawsuit arguing that state election officials are singling out college students by requiring their college-issued IDs have certain elements in order to serve as a voter ID. “This suit asks whether it is constitutional for state law to single out a group of voters and require them to present or submit information that election officials and poll workers do not need and do not use,” the complaint says. According to the Wisconsin Elections Commission, a student may use their college-issued ID to vote if the card includes the student’s name, signature, photo, date the card was issued and the date the card expires.

Tech Thursday

California: The San Jose Mercury News has an interesting story this week about how a suspicious email to a Contra Costa County elections employee caused a scare about Russian hacking that involved the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. According to the paper, state and federal authorities ultimately concluded that no county data had been compromised and they don’t ultimately believe that the elections office was specifically a target. “We took this very seriously — we’re vigilant, we work every day to keep our operations and elections secure,” Scott Konopasek, the assistant county registrar of voters, said in an interview with the paper. He said the FBI told local officials that “they don’t think we were specifically targeted, but we were just a target of opportunity.”

New York: According to The Batavian, Genesee County Information Technology Director Steve Zimmer recently told the county legislature that the state is considering requiring all New York counties to segregate the computer networks of elections commissions from any other network in the county. “Everyone is scared to death of the Russian hackers or that something is going to happen with the 2020 election, so the state is coming up with a lot of ‘what ifs’ and ‘what do we need to do to improve security in local elections offices,’ ” Zimmer said. Zimmer told the legislature that it would cost at least $20,000 for the county to segregate the elections systems.

Texas: With early voting underway, officials in Potter County are assuring voters that their vote is secure after the county’s computer system was compromised last week. County election officials removed all election-related material from the county’s main system and moved it to an independent, more secure server.
