GOP state lawmakers and election officials launch commission to examine voting laws
The Republican State Leadership Committee has announced that GOP lawmakers and secretaries of state will form a commission to look at election laws. The commission will focus on voter roll accuracy, absentee or mail-in voting, and the process for counting ballots that are received by Election Day. Republicans behind the plan say they are responding to constituent concerns over the safety and integrity of the ballot. Democrats say that the commission is a coordinated attempt at voter suppression.
