Dan,
"Yet The Heritage Foundation's website proves you're wrong. Are you afraid to explore the website?"
The Heritage Foundation is a conservative organization, but its Election Integrity Scorecard is not a comprehensive audit of how states administer elections.
Heritage analyzes state election laws and regulations and scores them against its own recommended standards. It does not examine each states underlying election records to verify that officials followed those laws.
What I'm suggesting is a congressionally required audit and not federal laws replacing the states underlying election rules.
States would continue operating under their own election laws and procedures. The audit would examine actual records to determine whether all state and federal laws and procedures were followed and identify mistakes, violations, or possible illegal discrepancies that might otherwise remain undetected.
Under my proposal, Congress would establish a common audit framework for elections involving federal offices. Because those elections affect the entire country, each state would undergo the same basic level of verification even though its election laws may differ.
A congressionally required audit would go far beyond Heritage's scorecard.
Federal law already requires election officials to preserve covered federal election records for 22 months. It also permits the Attorney General to demand those records for inspection when the written demand states its basis and purpose.
There is currently no national election audit standard. The broader, routine nationwide audit I'm proposing would have to be established by Congress.
Why did stinky give up on his first pool guy?
