Agenda Item Text:
Discussion and direction on election integrity and security, election processes, and possible changes we want to pursue in Cochise County.
Background:
There was much discussion and work in late 2022 on this topic and it was advised that our efforts were being made too close to the election. It is now time to gather and make decisions that effect the security of future elections. This meeting will be a time for: 1. Hearing up to date testimony by local experts on elections and using "machines" in particular, 2. Discussing what actions can be taken by the Board of Supervisors regarding elections and 3. Giving direction to staff to investigate possibilities for accomplishing possible changes/goals desired by the Board.
Proposed Outcome: Creating a more transparent and secure election process through implementing better practices involving possible re-organization of responsible parties, better cyber safety as well as more human participation, such as hand counting. The disenfranchised voters will trust the process and we can truly have a safe and secure election.
