Security Modernization Act of 2014  (Public Law 113-283; December 18, 2014).  A serious re-look of FISMA is necessary to separate CISA from the ability to intrude and influence future elections.  CISA ought only to have authority to monitor and report on cybersecurity threats and intrusions that are election related.  DHS and CISA must be kept outside the firewalls of election operations.     Other thoughts, ideas, suggestions to strengthen election integrity by modernizing and upgrading federal law?

SB382 was passed by the NC House and Senate and then Governor Cooper vetoed the bill in November. The NC Senate overrode the veto. The NC House then needed to do the same. It was imperative that the House override the veto before the new 2025 Session since they lost their supermajority. On Wednesday, December 11, 2024, the North Carolina House of Representatives voted 72-46 to override Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto of the controversial bill , making it law. Hallelujah! The SB382 provides money for Western North Carolina hurricane victims. It t ransfers authority of our elections from the governor to the NC Auditor. Most welcome - Changes control of the Board of Elections. NCSBE is now the State Board. Most significantly, the composition of county BOEs changes. There will still be five Board of Elections members. But, the State chair of the two political parties having the highest number of registered affiliates as reflected by the latest registration statistics published by the State Board shall have the right to recommend to the State Board three registered voters in each county for appointment to the county board for that county. Specifically, SB 382 pushes up the deadline to process provisional and absentee ballots. See Transfer of State Board of Elections to Auditor pg 30 to pg 40, Section 3A.4 (h) SB382 link here . We now have to give the Auditor the tools he needs to conduct a true forensic audit complete with cast vote records as in SB770. Stay tuned. We've much work to do to secure transparent elections where citizen identification for each ballot cast is mandatory. ###

Aliens Among Us: How non-US citizens have infiltrated America’s electoral process and what you can do about it Paperback – October 4, 2024 by Jay Norman DeLancy (Author) 5.0 5.0 out of 5 With a Forward written by electron law attorney Cleta Mitchell, this first-ever "Votechecker Journal," election integrity leader and blogger, Lt Col Jay DeLancy (USAF Ret), introduces readers to America's modern election integrity movement by taking us along for the ride when he publicly exposed evidence of non-citizen voting in North Carolina. His initial effort resulted hundreds of his non-citizen voter challenges being lawlessly dismissed before 14 of the remaining 18 challenged voters being removed from the voter rolls, 11 of whom were referred to ICE for criminal prosecution. When his group learned from their unjust treatment and sought to expand their research project, the forces blocking their efforts fully emerged. Not only was a Soros-backed organization fighting his groups efforts, so were election administrators, court administrators, and elected politicians from both parties. He even documented how the state's Republican House and Senate leadership cooperated with the Democrat Governor to prevent further exposure of noncitizens registered and often voting in North Carolina. Going deeper down the rabbit hole, his group exposed illegal immigrants who were licensed as Notary Public and using that authority to notarize absentee ballots. Part of this story includes an insider's account of how the NC Secretary of State was caught issuing Notary Public licenses. Though the practice violated both state and federal law, the same legislature that blocked the author's reform efforts found a way to sabotage an historic impeachment investigation. The book also exposes some smoking-gun emails that demonstrated the artful tactics "deep-state" actors used in order to derail a federal investigation. Rather than discouraging readers, the author applies the lessons learned during his 12-year fight for election integrity. This section provides an action blueprint for either developing a consensus among any good public servants or "smoking out" the ones who are hiding noncitizens within their transaction records. It also includes constructive advice and specific language helpful when addressing this issue with lawmakers and public administrators at all levels of government. The book closes with a specific case history that put all of his advice into action. By following the tips and principles DeLancy offers in this heavily footnoted journal, readers will be equipped for defending our electoral process against the threat of noncitizen voting, no matter where you may live. ###

" Several Democratic elected officials have condemned the plan, including the mayor and the Illinois governor." Tough! https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/mass-deportations-will-start-in-chicago-trumps-border-czar-tom-homan-says-5774099?ea_src=frontpage&ea_cnt=a&ea_med=top-news-3--top-news-0-top-stories-0-title-1

60,000 ballots are being challenged! https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/north-carolina-dem-chair-absolutely-worried-state-court-could-overturn-election-results/ar-AA1vCfpZ?ocid=msedgntp&pc=HCTS&cvid=1c7b4e7211064a8ca6fe0dfe07122bdc&ei=9 North Carolina Democratic Party Chair Anderson Clayton said she’s “absolutely” concerned that the state Supreme Court could overturn the results of a race for a seat on the court that has now gone to two recounts.  The results of the initial count and the first recount both showed incumbent Democratic state Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs leading Republican Jefferson Griffin, a state appeals court judge, by 734 votes. But Griffin requested a second recount partially done by hand that was completed Tuesday.  Clayton at a press conference Tuesday pointed to efforts from the GOP-led state Legislature attempting to strip power from Democratic officials as evidence that the state Supreme Court, with a current 5-2 conservative majority, could throw out the results.  In addition to the recounts, Griffin has challenged the validity of 60,000 ballots cast in the race.  “Do I have fear? Absolutely,” Clayton said. “Are we going to do everything in our power to protect these voters and to protect the democracy that we currently still have when we have two branches of government right now that are using their power unconstitutionally, in my opinion? Yes.”  Democratic North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper has vetoed the proposed legislation that easily passed the Republican-dominated Legislature that would allocate $227 million from the state’s savings fund to a relief fund to respond to the effects of Hurricane Helene but would also make a wide range of changes to power in the state.  Notably, it would take certain powers away from the governor, attorney general and state superintendent, offices that Democrats won and will control in January, and give them to the state auditor, who will be a Republican, and the Legislature.  Time is of the essence because Democrats were able to pick up a seat in the state House, breaking a veto-proof supermajority that the GOP has enjoyed for the new term in January. Republicans are seeking to override Cooper’s veto before the next term starts and incoming Gov.-elect Josh Stein (D) takes office.  The state Senate passed the override along party lines, while the state House has yet to vote on it. Three Republicans in the House voted against the bill originally, putting the chances of the override passing up in the air.  “Are you seriously thinking that they would not be this manipulative and this malicious with the people and the power that they hold in this state?” Clayton said.  She said the party has filed a lawsuit in federal court to preserve the ballots of the 60,000 voters. She said the ballots are being challenged on grounds of incomplete voter registration forms, with missing information like a Social Security number or driver’s license number.  But she said these voters may have never been notified of the missing information because Republicans were not previously challenging the validity of these voters’ registrations.  “At this moment in time, we are trying to make sure that people are raising their voices, that we are filing lawsuits where we can to hold back, and we are also trusting the process of our board of elections officials to do their job and to count every single vote and to recount every single vote,” Clayton said. The state elections board  announced  after the second recount ended that it would not order a full hand recount of the ballots because Riggs gained votes in the most recent count. The recount yielded Riggs 70 additional votes and Griffin 56 additional votes, while state law requires Griffin to have gained at least 35 additional votes in the partial hand recount in 3 percent of the Election Day precincts and early voting sites in each county, according to the board.

New Hampshire bill requiring proof of citizenship, residence and DOB for same day registrants. Get rid of Same Day Registration provisional ballot. Voter has proof in order to vote.

Contact Rep Destin Hall to urge him to work with the three representatives( Mike Clampitt, Karl Gillespie, and Mark Pless) who did not vote to transfer our election authority from the Governor to the Auditor. The Senate overrode Cooper's veto. The House needs to do the same. We're running out of time. There will most likely will be a vote before the end of the week. (Please write your own letter and use the talking points for a phone call.) Republican - District 87 Caldwell ,   Watauga Legislative Office: 16 West Jones Street, Rm. 2301 Raleigh, NC 27601-1096 919-733-5931 Destin.Hall@ncleg.gov ​ Dear Representative Hall: There is great concern for the House to override Cooper’s veto of S382 that transfers our elections administratively to the Department of the State Auditor that takes our elections out of the hands of the Governor and the NC State Board of Elections.  The Senate overrode Cooper's veto and now it’s up to the NC House.  There is great concern that Representatives Clampitt, Gillespie, and Pless did not vote for S382.  Their votes are crucial to the override.  In January, the House will be one vote short of a supermajority for the override.​ There is no guarantee of cross over votes.  Therefore, it is imperative that S382 is passed now​ before the New Year.   It is my understanding that the three representatives are concerned that Hurricane Helene relief funds in S382 are inadequate for their constituents. Can you please work with these representatives ​to get the hurricane relief funding ​that they ​and their constituents are looking for so they will vote for S382? ​The window is rapidly closing.   Thank you and so do appreciate your help.  It is an understatement that a top priority is election integrity.   ​S382 would restore faith in accountability and transparency in our elections.  Sincerely, Jane Bilello ​218 Vincent Pl Hendersonville, NC 28739 ​ NCEIT.org 209 986 3845   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rep Mike Clampitt (R) 919-715-3005  District 119.
