Confidence in our Elections

I sit on the Elections and Certification Commission. There seem to be two camps when it comes to elections. Those that think everything is fine and nothing needs to be done; typically, the winners. And, those that feel the entire system is rigged against us; typically the losers. The truth is no matter what side you are on, testing the system for flaws, does not undermine voter confidence as some other members of the Commission believe.

In fact, just the opposite. That is why I have pushed for legislation that would test the voter registration process and establish a unique identifier that would follow the voter from county to county. Having confidence in our election system is paramount to retaining our Republic.
