- Make Machines More Transparent to Examination
From NCEIT Director Jim Womack on the Voting Machines Jim is also the National Work Group Director for Voting Technology and Voting Systems which has a Zoom Call the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month. Registration link https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0lf-iopzIiGdSpa3hUZoSlHTHNypjlYw71 Thanks Doug. I once had a Philosophy professor who sagely advised, "No paper will refuse ink." In other words, there is no limit to what might be tried by any agency, commercial or governmental, to modify election procedures, for good or for ill. We are not going to stop the use of tabulating machines in elections. Trickery like this to hold state election entities to a standard they cannot attain, will not stand the test of judicial review. I would be very surprised if legislative attorneys in AZ even permitted the SCR to get past a floor vote of that body. I am all for holding election agencies accountable to high standards. I am all for making these tabulating machines as auditable and transparent as possible. And I am completely in agreement that every person should cast a paper ballot that can be examined to see all markings from the voter. However, the billions of HAVA dollars that have been spent acquiring machines will not be undone anytime in the next decade. in fact. most republican legislators are just fine with the use of machines- even in full awareness of their vulnerabilities. I find it much more useful to address the vulnerabilities of voting machines where I might be most productive- that of compelling the escrow of machine source code for periodic examination, making the machines more transparent for examination of their output files (including CVRs), examination of Poll Tapes, and conducting audits where a high percentage of hand counted ballots are compared to machine tallies. Citizens and Boards of Elections want to complete their counts on election night, and they do not want to spend enormous amounts of money and time to perform 100% hand counting of ballots (where human errors are abundant).

Clampitt, and Senator Hanig Ask them to sponsor NCEIT's Bill - Access and Retention of Cast Vote Records https://www.ashevilleteaparty.org/post/nceit-summary-for-cast-vote-records-for-legislative-action-days Some county boards claim the CVRs are not public records because they were not printed, which is inconcistent with the definition of public records as in NCGS 132-1. Citizen analysts of election results need access to Cast Vote Records for inspection and verification that machine counts of ballots for each race match the machine’s printed reports.

- NCEIT Summary of Poll Observer Bill for Legislation Action Days
Bill – To Clarify Poll Observer Appointments, Access and Permitted Activity The Problem · NCGS Chapter 163-45 specifies that there shall be no more than three observers in the voting enclosure and requires no more than two be precinct-specific and no more than one be at-large; when maximum ought to be three observers regardless of source- at-large or precinct-assigned. · Neither the NCGS nor the NCSBE (in administrative code) has defined the term “impede the voting process” as referenced in the statute, which leads to ambiguity in interpretation. · Observer access to information about those who have voted is limited to “not less than 3 times during election day with spacing not less than one hour apart” and “at times specified by the State Board of Elections” conflicts with 163-45(c) allowing free access for observations in the voting enclosure. · The statute is unclear about reasons and authority to remove an Observer. · Local boards of election are inconsistent in limiting Observer access to the entire voting enclosure, except where restricted by statute, often leading to a violation of 18 US Code 245 which protects “poll watcher” activities. · The statutory definition of “voting enclosure” does not extend to include “curbside voting” which should be an extension of the voting enclosure. · General Statute Chapter 163 assigns no penalty for not following the provisions outlined in Chapter 163. The Solution · There is no need to specify the type of observers (precinct specific or at large) so long as no more than three are permitted in the voting enclosure. Any combination of the two observer types is adequate. · A definition for “impede the voting process” should be introduced in statute. · Clarification is needed to describe activities that Observers shall be allowed to perform within the voting enclosure- including unrestricted access to and observation of the registration table and check-in of voters, the ballot table, the Help Desk, the ballot marking area, curbside voting, and the tabulation/counting machine, so long as the voter’s ballot markings are not viewed and the voting process is not impeded. · The timeframe on accessing information for those that have voted should not be limited for Poll Observers. · Procedures for warning and removing an Observer for unpermitted activity must be prescribed. · Extend the definition of “voting enclosure” to include the space inside a vehicle with a voter(s) at curbside voting. Apply all voting enclosure restrictions to the space inside a vehicle in curbside voting. · Prescribe penalty for unlawfully restricting the permitted activities of Poll Observers- preferably a Class 1 misdemeanor.

- NCEIT Summary for Cast Vote Records for Legislative Action Days
Bill - Access and Retention of Cast Vote Records The Problem · Folowing the November 2022 general election, public records requests for cast vote records (CVR) were made in at least 14 counties in NC. The State Board of Elections rejected those requests based on the confidentiality of the information, despite the fact the CVRs are election records that should be accessible for public inspection. More than half the states in the U.S. allow access to and inspection of the Cast Vote Records by statute- including NY, CA, OH, TX and FL. · Some county boards claim the CVRs are not public records because they were not printed, which is inconcistent with the definition of public records as in NCGS 132-1. · Some county boards claim their electronic systems do not create Cast Vote Records. However, Section 1.1.5-A of the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines (VVSG) 2.0, dated 2/10/21, prepared for the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) states, “The voting system must support casting a ballot, recording each vote precisely as indicated by the voter subject to the rules of the election jurisdiction, and creating a cast vote record that can be tabulated and audited.” · Citizen analysts of election results need access to Cast Vote Records for inspection and verification that machine counts of ballots for each race match the machine’s printed reports. Without this access, voters lose confidence in the accuracy of machines and the outcomes of elections. The Solution · Clarify for the State Board of Elections that cast vote records (CVR) shall be shared with the public in a timely manner. Chapter 132-1 of the NC General Statutes, the Public Records law, provides for the records to be released to the public as long as confidential information is separated from nonconfidential information. · Require the settings on all electronic voting systems to create and retain the cast vote records for every election as per the EAC’s VVSG 2.0 Guidelines. · Require the retention of the CVRs for aperiod not less than 22 months as per all other election records. See Also Definition. According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a Cast Vote Record (CVR) is “an electronic record of a voter’s ballot selections, and its primary purpose is to provide a record of voter selections that can be counted in an efficient manner to produce election results.” Section 301(C)(2) of the Help America Vote Act specifies that voting systems shall produce a record with an audit capacity for such systems. NIST presented a common data format specification for cast vote records (CVRs). The intended audience of the specifications includes the general public. In creating these standards, NIST worked alongside the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines (VVSG) Interoperability Public Working Group with contributions from many different organizations. The purpose of NIST’s specification is to provide a standard format “for CVRs to assist election officials, auditors, and other election analysts in collecting, aggregating, tabulating, and auditing CVRs from multiple types of vote-capture devices” which are used to produce election results. An additional purpose is to “provide greater transparency.” Contact: North Carolina Election Integrity Team (NCEIT), Jim Womack, (919) 770-4783, james.k.womack@gmail.com Paid for by North Carolina Election Integrity Team (NCEIT)
- Felons Can Now Vote!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tuesday, July 26, 2022 Patrick Gannon, Public Information Director Email Felons Who Are Not in Jail or Prison May Register to Vote Starting July 27 RALEIGH, NC – Starting July 27, 2022, an individual serving a felony sentence who is not in jail or prison may register to vote and vote. An individual must also have resided in North Carolina for at least 30 days prior to the election, be a U.S. citizen, and be at least 18 years old by the next general election. Previously, under a North Carolina statute, a person serving a felony sentence could not register to vote or vote, whether they were in or out of prison, until they completed that sentence. This meant that felons serving probation, post-release supervision, or parole were not able to register or vote, until they completed their term of supervision. Earlier this year, however, a North Carolina superior court determined that denying voting rights to people serving their felony sentences outside of jail or prison violates the state constitution. This decision has been appealed; however, while it is on appeal, the North Carolina Court of Appeals has ordered that the decision should go into effect as of July 27, 2022. This means that, for the time being, any person serving a felony sentence outside of prison or jail is eligible to register to vote and vote. Those in jail or prison for a felony conviction are not allowed to register or vote. If a person is in jail awaiting trial for a felony but has not yet been convicted, they retain their voting rights. In North Carolina, a person never loses their voting rights for a misdemeanor conviction. As of July 27, the State Board will update its website and voter registration forms and other voting-related documents to reflect this new information on felon eligibility. The agency will update this information upon any further order of the courts. ###
