08 NCAC 10B .0103 VOTING PROCEDURES Necessary (4/10)
Rule is redundant in that it repeats Statutes verbatim instead of formulating an ordered organized list of procedures and instructions for conducting elections in violation of requirements of § 150B-19.(4) Repeats the content of a law, rule, federal regulation….
v Rule IS expressly authorized by Federal and State Law
v Rule is VERY NECESSARY to serve the Public Interest in the process of conducting legal and accurate Elections in North Carolina however, the Rule fails the requirements of implementing the Statues as intended
v Rule DOES NOT seek to reduce the burden on those Election Officials as the Rule is NOT written in clear and unambiguous manner § 150B-19.1.(a)(2) and § 150B-19.1.(a)(3)
v Rule does NOT provide clear, orderly instructions to carry out the legal requirements of the Statues applicable to the Ruleas defined in § 150B‑2. Definitions (8a) Rule. “…describes the procedure or practice requirements of an agency.”
v Rule is NOT cumulatively effective in relation to the specific purpose for which the Rule is proposed, which are critical processes in conducting elections at every county, every municipality and every precinct
v Rule is redundant in that it repeats Statutes verbatim instead of formulating an ordered organized list of procedures and instructions for conducting elections in violation of requirements of § 150B-19.(4) Repeats the content of a law, rule, federal regulation….
v Rule is not based on relevant information as multiple Statute requirements are included within the Rule WITHOUT any reference to the said Statutes. At least SIX Statutes and TWO Rules are relevant in the construction of the Rule. ALL were omitted in the Authority History violating § 150B-21.2.(c)(3) A citation to the law…
v Rule is not designed to achieve the regulatory objective in a timely manner as the Rule is repetitive without a clear order of duties and requirements specified within the Rule required by § 150B-19.1.(a)(6)
v Rule omits ANY reference to Voter Identification as part of the Voting Procedure
v Rule repeats the contents of multiple Statues rather than clearly giving an instruction to carry forth the intent of the Statues
v Rule is incomplete regarding Federal Statute 52 USC 21082(a) Provisional Voting
v Rule combines multiple processes that require individual categories of instruction to clearly and unambiguously give procedures to Elections Officials and Precinct Officials for conducting Elections
v Rule is poorly documented regarding the Statutes to which it applies and omits multiple Statues the Rule actually addresses
