Good news, progress being made South Carolina

 All of your hard work resulted in us getting a hearing for the election bills filed by Rob Harris H4259, H4260 and H4261. We went to the Blatt building last Thursday and it was a crowded agenda of multiple election bills. We were still able to get our speakers to testify on 2 of the 3 above bills.

Here is a description of the bills:

H.4259 Hand Count Audit Act
https://www.scstatehouse.gov//sess125_2023-2024/prever/4259_20230405.htm

This bill calls for a hand count audit of at least 5 races within 3 precincts of each county and should include one statewide office or question; one federal office; and one countywide or less than countywide office or question

It also allows a county or county chair of a political party to call for an audit up to 22 months after an election (hand count or forensic).

H.4260 Voter Access and Transparency Act

https://www.scstatehouse.gov//sess125_2023-2024/prever/4260_20230405.htm

H 4260 eliminates early voting, calls for a return to paper poll books and gives full observation rights to every citizen to observe all phases of the election process and establishes chain of custody documentation to be recorded for all components of the election systems at all times.

It also removes the 65 and older provision for absentee voting thereby reducing the amount of mail in voting.

Most importantly, it establishes a pilot program for 2024 for at least 3 counties to cast votes on hand-marked paper ballots counted by hand. THE PEOPLE WANT PAPER!

The videos of these are below and the speakers who advocated for these bills were nothing short of excellent.  These are a must watch!!!! Special thanks to Lea and Julie for taking the time and driving to Columbia to make this happen!

Hand count Audit Act -Lea Williams Watch now!

Voter Access and Transparency Act-Julie Baker Watch now!

So far these haven’t come out of subcommittee. (The next step would be for them to go to the House Judiciary Committee). In order to track progress on thewse bills download the SC Legislature app to get alerts on the bills.

Even Better news!

After meeting with members of the Charleston legislative delegation (Matt Leber, Joe Busos, Tom Hartnett, Kathy Landing and Jordan Pace) they asked us to draft our ideal legislation or gold standard bill for election. This bill H 4935 the Secure Accurate Verifiable Elections Act was filed last week.

This bill gets rid of all electronics.  It calls for 1 day of voting (state holiday) with paper poll books and paper ballots, eliminates early voting and absentee for 65 and over to limit mail in votes. It also establishes strong chain of custody, secure ballots measures as well as videotaping of the counting process. Please contact the house judiciary committee and ask them to schedule a hearing and to vote this out of committee.

The lack of security in electronic voting systems has been underscored with the revelations in the Curling vs. Raffensberger case in GA. The Gateway Pundit has been covering this story in detail and the facts are alarming. Here is the info:
