Letter from Jim womack to Senate Rules 11/19/2024


Gentlemen;


In the wake of the unusual voting anomalies witnessed and reported this election cycle, it is IMPERATIVE you complete passage of H770, still languishing in Senate Rules.  This bill received bipartisan House support in 2023 and crossed over successfully to the Senate where it has not moved.  Had this bill been passed, you would have empowered the new Auditor with artifacts from this election that could be used to audit the election outcome, and to explain away why several important races flipped during canvass.  Without cast vote records, the auditor lacks the tools needed to perform a post-election tabulation audit.  As it stands now, there is no audit and there will be no audit of the most recent election.  (The "Risk Limiting Audit" that NCSBE performs on itself has zero meaningfulness from a statistical and evidentiary perspective.  Everyone knows that.)


The lack of legislative action by the State Senate on this bill contributes to public distrust of our elections.  Moreover, it greatly complicates the new Auditor's ability to ensure the NCSBE does its job effectively.  You have the opportunity now to fix this glaring deficiency.   There are two or more scheduled sessions of the NCGA prior to adjournment.  Please endeavor to pass this bill and then to override the likely gubernatorial veto that will ensue.  This action is very important to citizens statewide.


Warm Regards/

Jim Womack
